Easy Breakfast Egg Cupcakes

**Reminder to enter the Mondo Beyondo Seat contest on this post – just comment**

So this morning I really wanted a quiche.  The thing is quiche takes time – not in preparation but in cooking and Lexi has about 25 minutes from the moment she wakes up until the moment she must have food in her belly so I thought: I CAN DO THIS!

Ingredients:
1/2 a bag of frozen broccoli florets
1/4 cup of shredded cheese
10 eggs
Cooking Spray
Salt to season

Action:
1. Spray the cupcake pan with cooking spray and preheat your oven to 375 degrees
2. Place a few broccoli florets in each Cupcake

3. Sprinkle the cheese in each cupcake.

4. Put the ten eggs in a big enough bowl that you can wisk, mine has a pour spout that is very helpful and season will salt if you so choose.  Salt can make your eggs a little firmer – in this implementation I think that’s a good thing.

5.  Beat the eggs and then pour the eggs into your cupcake pan filling about 2/3 of the way full.

6. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

They are very yummy, super portable and you can freeze them.  As Val and I were talking about it this morning she mentioned taking one and cutting it in half and wrapping it up to make a breakfast burrito.  You could do whatever vegetable/cheese combinations you want.

    Ohmygosh those look SO good. I made ones before just like that with ham in it... but the broccoli looks sooo good!

Cass Just Curious Zucchini Bread Recipe

First: The Winner of the Sephora Philosophy gift set is…..Joels from Taking the time to save a dime.  I think it’s perfect that she won this contest (she was lucky #7 from the Random Number Generator) because she’s a newbie and I think she’d enjoy a little comment love to welcome her to this medium we all love.

Second.  Zucchini Bread.  It’s a bread, it’s sweet, it’s desert or breakfast or lunch or a snack or a meal or a day and it’s a VEGETABLE.  It totally counts as a vegetable even when it is baked in bread. So here’s my recipe – If you click on the image it will zoom up bigger and then you can print it.

Zucchini Bread RecipeI’m testing out different ways to post recipes that I love that make it as easy as possible for you to enjoy – does this work for you?  Suggestions?

    Here's my thing. (Ok, it's just one of my things, but whatever.) I cannot eat zucchini bread as a dessert. This rule also applies to carrot cake. Don't get me wrong. It's yummy. And I do loves my veggies. I can eat it as a snack or for breakfast. But my dessert? No veggies allowed. Not even if you toss in a handful of chocolate chips or add some icing. ;-)

    What happened to the food blog you started with someone else? Did it die away? I used to check in but it hadn't been updated in awhile and I've lost the link.

    I was given a massive Zucchini this weekend and thought...whalah....I know what to do with this thing thanks to Cass :-)

  • Aimee: August 17th, 2009 at 5:48pm

    YIKES!!! I am in the midst of making this and noticed I have no idea what degrees to put the oven on!!!! Crap I hope I don't burn the yummy smelling bread!
