I love the idea of what you call egg muffins, and what I would call "egg cups!" I've seen them for sale and I've had at least one version of them that I found to be very delicious. It had spinach and cheese in it. Someone bought it for me, so I don't know what it cost...but I'm sure, even with food prices going up, this would still be a money saver to make at home...and you can have fun and get creative with the ingredients...I'll have to think more about what I will do...I'm getting off to a late start on the "plate challenges," but I definitely want to start making and eating those egg cups for part of my breakfast. Thanks for the inspiring idea!
