Wonton Egg Cups
These hand-held egg cups are fun to eat, easy to make and a fantastic way to increase your protein intake!
Muffin tins are spritzed with avocado oil and lined with wonton wrappers. Each handy dandy little wonton cup is then filled with whisked eggs, cheese, and veggies then baked to crispy and creamy perfection!
The wonton wrappers make a crispy quiche-like crust while the eggs have a fluffy and creamy quiche-like consistency.
They’re total breakfast perfection and make an easy grab-and-go breakfast for kids and adults alike – think busy mornings during back-to-school season or time-strapped Mondays when you’re facing a heavy meeting schedule.

Breakfast Wonton Egg Cups
My go-to eggs for these egg cups, as well as many of my other recipes, are Nellie’s Free Range Eggs.
They’re Certified Humane® and come from family-run farms across the US. Their mission to upholding quality working and living standards for their farmers, as well as their free-range hens, is what drew me to the brand years ago.
In turn, today’s tasty recipe is sponsored by Nellie’s as part of a delicious ongoing partnership to create healthy, crave-worthy recipes featuring their farm-fresh eggs!

Breakfast Wonton Egg Cups

AUTHOR JENN LAUGHLIN – PEAS AND CRAYONS

Ingredients

  • 6 large Nellie’s Free Range Eggs
  • 1/2-3/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color – I used red and orange)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • 1 cup grated cheese (divided)
  • salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
  • 12 wonton wrappers

TASTY TOPPING OPTIONS

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 365° F.
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with spray oil or butter, then layer two wonton wrappers per cup. I like to rotate mine slightly, so it looks like a star and covers the whole muffin cup.
  3. Place in the oven and pre-bake the wonton cups for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and decrease oven temp to 350.
  5. Allow to cool slightly before removing the wonton cups, then spritz the muffin tin again to prevent sticking. I find the extra step is worth it in the long run.
  6. Return the wontons to their respective cups.
  7. Divide diced veggies between cups and top with cheese. Evenly distribute half of the cheese allotted for this recipe across the cups.
  8. Crack eggs into a large spouted measuring cup (for easy pouring) and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (optional). I added a pinch of each. Whisk well, then pour into the middle of each wonton cup over the veggies and cheese. Go slowly and be careful not to overfill the wontons because the eggs will expand as they cook.
  9. Top with remaining cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until eggs are cooked through and fluffy.
  10. Enjoy while hot with your favorite toppings!

Recipe Notes

Leftovers can be stored up to 4-5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat via toaster oven for crispy cups or microwave if preferred.
Nutrition Facts below are estimated using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed and enjoy!
Want to keep the egg whites and yolks separate like some of the eggs in my photos? Separate yolks and whites while cracking your eggs, you will need 12 instead of 6. Whisk egg whites to break them up slightly then gently spoon into wonton cups, being careful not to fill them to the brim. Top with a yolk and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

The Best Belgian Waffle Recipe Who doesn’t love a made-from-scratch, comforting, homestyle breakfast? Especially on the weekends!

I’m yet to meet someone who doesn’t love them. I’ve had this recipe countless times since I first shared them 5 years ago.

They have a rich delicious flavor (thanks to the buttermilk), they’re perfectly soft and tender inside with a nice moisture to them, and you’ll love that deliciously crisp, pretty exterior.

TRUFFLED MUSHROOM PIZZA WITH ARUGULA SALAD

Homemade truffled mushroom pizza that you can throw on the grill in the summertime or prepare in the oven during the winter months! So easy to make and taste like something you’d get at a fancy pizza parlor! Fancy truffled mushroom pizza.. at home. There are only a few things that make me as happy as movie night and homemade pizza on Friday evenings. If you asked me about an ideal Friday night in my mid-twenties, I guarantee that wouldn’t be my answer back then. But now. As I slowly creep up further and further in my thirties, I’ll gladly be in bed before midnight, stay in on the weekends and prefer it, and not only will I not complain about Brussel sprouts, I favor eating them. With all these new preferences, I also have started to like homemade pizza over your no-frills takeout pizza joints. There’s just something about being able to control the toppings, amount of sauce (or skipping it all together), and having the freedom to throw a big arugula salad on top of my truffled mushroom ...

Loaded with yummy cheesecake bites and topped with tons of cinnamon-scented streusel, this is sure to become your go-to breakfast french toast casserole recipe! Cheesecake + French Toast? Someone pinch me, am I in heaven? I’m excited to tell you all about my new favorite cheesecake french toast casserole today. We’re so close to the weekend and my hope is that you’ll grab all of these ingredients when you hit the store next and then prep this on either Friday or Saturday and share it with family or friends for brunch. It’s a lazy sort of casserole and I have no shame in saying that those are the best kind. Frozen berries, a brick of cream cheese, a loaf of slightly stale bread, and few other simple ingredients. And would you believe that all of this blueberry french toast casserole disappeared in less than 48 hours? Granted I boxed up most of i...
