Egg Cups

Can you do me a favor?
Please stop trashing egg yolks! They are not the devil.
Eggs are super nutritious, a great source of protein, strengthen bones, and may lessen your chances of Alzheimer’s disease.
Yes, the egg is still incredible and so is the recipe for my Egg Cups.

Eggs are one food item that I tend to splurge on. Those cheap eggs that come from factory-farmed chickens, simply taste pretty bland and lack the benefits compared to their pasture-raised brothers.

Vital Farms says it best:
Are pasture-raised eggs better for you?
Yes, in every measurable way! The most comprehensive studies to date showed that in comparison to regular factory-farmed eggs, pasture-raised eggs have less cholesterol, less saturated fat, more vitamins, and omega 3s. In other words, more of the good stuff and less of the not-so-good stuff.

What health benefits do eggs have?
Eggs don’t just contain any old proteins – remember, everything inside that perfect little shell would be the building blocks for a new life if the egg was fertilized (which ours aren’t), so the protein and vitamin profile is perfectly balanced. Proteins like Choline (great for brain function) and Betaine (great for your heart), and the carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin (which protect your eyes) are just some of the great nutrients in eggs.

If that isn’t convincing enough, Emma Morano, the world’s oldest woman at 117 has eaten eggs every day for a century!
So, let’s get to scrambling! My recipe for Simple Egg Cups is versatile, with a variety of added ingredients, healthy, and is a super quick breakfast or brunch option.
