For more easy recipes bursting with breakfast flavor, try our egg sausage breakfast muffins and egg and sausage stuffed peppers. From the cheesy sweet potato crust to the smoky bacon, creamy egg, and fresh veggies, there’s so much amazing flavor with each bite! To make them, we start by lining each muffin cup with a cheesy sweet potato crust. Pop them in the oven for a few minutes then layer in strips of chewy thick-cut bacon. Crack an egg inside each cup along with an asparagus spear and a cherry tomato. Bake them until the egg is just set, and that’s it! They’re delicious warm out of the oven but they also taste great cold from the fridge the next day. They’re easy, healthy, and filling, and they make a great savory breakfast, brunch, or snack!
Thick-cut bacon – we use thick-cut bacon for a chewy texture and extra smoky flavor. Butter – for greasing the muffin pan and for easier removal. Sweet potato – grated sweet potato makes up the base of the tasty ‘crust’. Yum! You can also use regular potatoes if you prefer. Eggs – you’ll need one egg for each cup, plus one more for the crust. Cheddar cheese – we like aged cheddar cheese because we find it has more flavor, especially when melted. But any type of cheddar cheese will work. Asparagus spears and cherry tomatoes – these are visually so pretty and taste great together, too! Freshly ground black pepper and paprika – for serving.
The individual cups make a stunning addition to any brunch table for special occasions like Mother’s Day or birthdays along with a mimosa! Also, try thse spinach feta egg cups and these sous vide egg bites!
