Make Ahead Ham and Egg Breakfast Cups

These Make Ahead Ham and Egg Breakfast Cups are an ultimate meal prepper’s dream. Cook once and eat all week with these hearty cups. With Ham, Egg, and Sweet Potato, these will keep you going all week! 

My make ahead breakfast requirements are that I can put in effort ONE time, and eat for the whole week.

I also like to pack my breakfasts with protein….. and they need to be able to be consumed with one hand… usually in my car.

It is a sad but true reality of my 9-5 commuter life. I need to eat while multi-tasking.

I have been experimenting with egg cups… but have come to learn that most are “too eggy” if that is a thing. So between my hard boiled eggs, my freezer friendly quinoa egg scramble bowl, and these prep ahead Ham and Egg Breakfast Cups, I have found my perfect balance!

These are loaded with veggies to offset the full on egg feel… but still get your breakfast protein in!

These really are as simple as line a cupcake tin with ham slices, add in some sweet potato, cover with scrambled egg mixture, top with cheese, and bake.
