On-the-Go Breakfast Cups

On-the-Go Breakfast Cups

I live a typical hectic work from home mom life. Hubs works all the time and although I work from home, I am constantly running around between work, household chores, and keeping the tiny human alive. During our crazy weeks we needed an on-the-go breakfast option and these on-the-go breakfast cups have turned out to be a great answer.

I needed a recipe that was easily adaptable to whatever flavors Hubs was feeling for the week…

Although we’re very much alike, we are very different in our food choices sometimes. I easily get into these grooves where I can meal prep and eat the exact same thing every meal, every single day and he just needs more of a variety than that. That’s okay, it just means as the primary chef for our home, I need to be a little creative in our weekly meal plans.

Every so often I’ll give into our comfort food cravings and make my Seafood Mac and Cheese for a little change.

This recipe is pretty typical for a breakfast, it’s got a little bacon, a little cheesy eggs, and even some potatoes but it can be adapted to include spinach or sausage or really whatever you’re wanting that week.

This week I added some mashed tater tots to the bottoms and filled the cups with chopped bacon, scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and even a little salt an pepper.
