Blender Baked Egg Cups
Blender baked egg cups are the reason I suck less at mornings. Don’t get me wrong, I still suck at them, but…less sucky, ya know? Who has time to have food that isn’t processed on a regular, while trying to catch a show on Netflix to calm spirits and simultaneously brush unruly hair? WHO, I ask thee?!? *End scene*
Because I have to face mornings eventually, it means I usually face them on an empty stomach, and often in a bad mood. “Clearly you’re not a morning person Hadi.” You’re right, what was your first clue?
Getting up there in age, made me realise I can’t eat like I’m at university anymore – drinking Smirnoff and having pelau for breakfast. That’s when I started trying to think of make ahead meals that could easily be in my freezer for cranky mornings (all of them).
I started baking a version of these egg cups, first, in large quantities for a Saturday volunteer programme to feed the homeless. I soon realised the versatility and ease at freezing and storing them for a later date. This became one of my first tests on a mission to make my mornings, a little bit more bearable.
These egg cups are easy to make with the use of a blender, and are the perfect make ahead breakfast item to pack and go, but can also be great for brunch.
