Eggs in a muffin tin
I love anything involving eggs.
For instance, omelets, egg salad, hard boiled eggs, deviled eggs, poached eggs, eggs over easy…pretty much anything!
In addition, eggs are a super healthy source of protein.
So when I saw this delicious looking loaded eggs in a muffin tin recipe in my Cooking Light Magazine, I had to try it out.
And if you’re looking for a compilation of amazingly delicious, lightened up recipes, you really need to get Gina Homolka’s SkinnyTaste Cookbook.
I’ve made several of her recipes and they’re all so good!
Knowing that each serving is only 5 Weight Watchers SmartPoints makes it a no-brainer for me.
Storing all of your best recipes for safe-keeping
Obviously, I’ve put this recipe in my 3-ring recipe binder to make again in the future.
By the way, this binder has been a game changer for me.
I used to print out recipes, fold them up and stuff them in a recipe box.
It was always overflowing.
This binder comes with 12 tab dividers and 20 sticker labels with categories and one large pocket.
The inside front and back cover include measurement equivalents and common substitutions.
I bought extra recipe card protectors and 3-ring binder sheet protectors to organize all of my recipes in my binder.
It’s SO much easier now to find my go-to recipes!

Amazingly Delicious
These eggs in a muffin tin are seriously delicious!
The combination of the cheese, tomatoes, bacon, spring onions, and a sunny-side up egg all enveloped inside a toasty vessel was heaven to my taste buds!

And the beauty of these cups is that you can make them in advance and just pop them in the oven to warm through when you’re ready to eat them.
I’ve already got some in a container in the refrigerator for my husband to bake in the morning before he leaves for work.
