Paleo Egg Cups are the perfect breakfast to start off your day. Loads of protein with fresh asparagus make this gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, paleo, and whole30 friendly.
Eggs just might be one of those miracle ingredients.
You know, the kind that can easily morph into breakfast, then brunch, slide onto lunch, and slither into dinner. My husband tries to put his foot down and says eggs can not be dinner.
Blah, who does he think he is?
I am the cook in this house, and sometimes the cook wants bacon and eggs for dinner. A big ol’ salad and 2 or 3 of these delicious egg cups, now that is undoubtedly a dinner not to turn your nose up at.
Am I correct?
Sadly my little chicken flock has shrunk this season, we lost a few chickens. One was caught by a raccoon and disappeared. We lost two to old age, or so I assume, they were seven years old, and they passed in the night. One was caught by a raccoon and disappeared.
I still have 13 hens, and we are collecting eggs daily, so I have an abundance of fresh free-range eggs close at hand and I am always looking for easy and clever ways to use them up to enjoy.
These breakfast cups are super easy, only take 30 minutes, and can be made ahead of time and warmed up for breakfast. Though they are best eaten warm straight from the oven.
If you are not strictly Paleo you can add cheddar cheese. Who can say no to fresh gooey cheddar cheese and a slice of bacon?! Maybe a sprinkle of green onions, if you like!
There is plenty of protein to jump-start your metabolism in the morning, and filling enough to enjoy with some vegetables for lunch or dinner.

Has anyone tried freezing these yet? Wondering how they hold up before I try😜
Ah I forgot to good the bacon first 😑 the bacon looks cooked… but isn’t crispy. Toss them or eat them?
Has anyone had success substituting brussels sprouts for the asparagus?
Hi. These look amazing. Any suggestion for replacing the asparagus.(spinach?) Any time i eat aspargus baby boy projectiles everywhere so until I’m done nursing I’m not able to eat it. 🙁
I made these this morning. The bacon on the bottom was still raw after 17 mins, the egg was done, any suggestions? I am thinking I might try cooking the bacon a little first, although the exposed edge still might get too well done. I’ll try again because everything about these is yummy.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
The ingredient list says “12 strips uncured organic bacon, cooked”
I read that you were supposed to cook the bacon first! Try it again! I am going to try today!
Question. Can you freeze the egg cups? They look delicious.
I have not frozen them, but I think they will do fine frozen and reheated.
I made them for work tomorrow! They look Delish!
Quick question to clarify, the serving size is one “muffin”, correct?
Yes!
