Breakfast In A Cup

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl, and…I’d also like to introduce our new co-host…

Jess from Hello To Fit! <3!

Be sure to send some love her way (our social media links are at the bottom of this post)!

This week’s theme is Savory Breakfast!

Before I get to that, a quick life update of sorts–I’m having a world of trouble getting my rotations finalized. I sent in the paperwork for one of them back in March. March! It is still under legal review, and the program is going to have to cancel my rotation if it’s not approved by…today. (Since said rotation starts on the 28th of this month.) But the legal department isn’t looking at it til today, so who knows what’s going to happen. :[

I’m trying to stay positive, but not gonna lie, I’m pretty bummed since I was really looking forward to that rotation (and also already paid for the cross-country plane tickets…). The program said that if worse comes to worse, they can potentially open up a 2-week slot in November for me to rotate there (they’ve been super super nice through this whole frustrating process!), so I just hope things work out for the best!

I mentioned last week that there was a chance that my North Carolina rotation would get saved…and it did! They put their rotation on VSAS so that I could apply for it! So rest assured, not everything is falling to pieces–there’s still hope for me to have an actual schedule this year! :]

Alright, so back to the matter at hand–this is a super tasty and easy way to start off your morning–you can pop em’ in the oven while you get ready! (Just don’t forget about them, although the delicious smell coming from your kitchen should serve as a handy reminder!)

Unless, of course, you happen to be like me in that you value your sleep and are ready to race out the door 10-15 minutes after waking up. In that case, I’d leave this for a weekend! :]

  1. I love cute, portable breakfasts! I’ve meal prepped something similar before, might have to do it again!
    Michelle recently posted…Brown Rice & Avocado Loaded Sweet PotatoMy Profile

    1. Portable breakfasts make life so much more convenient! :D!

  2. Egg cups are so good. I used to do these types of things for Alex all the time!
    Susie @ SuzLyfe recently posted…Fit Foodie Finds: Healthy Snacks Rocking My WorldMy Profile

    1. That’s awesome! I want someone to cook for me!!! :P

  3. I’m just so not a savory breakfast person! It has to sweet and carby ;)
    Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine recently posted…Friday Finisher 9/11/15My Profile

    1. I love sweet and carby as well, but I crave either one at different times. Or both at the same time. hah. :x

  4. Such a simple recipe, but sounds so delicious! And I love that it’s in a cup!
    Jenn @ EngineerMommy recently posted…Spiced Apple Cake w/ M&M’s® Pecan Pie ToppingMy Profile

    1. It makes life a lot easier, and yay for built-in portion control! :P

  5. gotta love quick and easy breakfasts like this! yum!
    rachel @ Athletic Avocado recently posted…Healthy Nut Butter RecipesMy Profile

    1. Agreed! :D!

  6. I’m more of a wake up and run kind of person too, but these would be perfect for lazy weekend morning!
    Heather@hungryforbalance recently posted…Fridays are one of My Favorite ThingsMy Profile

    1. Agreed! Weekends tend to be my let’s-take-more-time-with-elaborate-breakfasts mornings!

  7. So cute! I’m a sucker for personal little food cups! I hope the paperwork comes through for you. Sounds stressful :-(
    Julie @ Running in a Skirt recently posted…Oven Baked Sweet Potato ChipsMy Profile

    1. Thanks, Julie! They were supposed to get back to me today (already too late), but they…still have not. I think it’s safe to say that I’m gonna have to find somewhere else to go in less than 2 weeks. x_x Fun times!

  8. Farrah this looks SO delicious! I make something similar (strata) but it’s a huge serving, and not great for to go (also a bit more time consuming as you need to let the egg soak through the bread for hours and hours)

    This would be perfect to prep in the mornings while I’m getting ready for work and then eat on the go! Love it

    1. That sounds awesome! I’ve never tried making that, but I bet it’d be an awesome crowd favorite at a potluck! <3 (The only time I really put super-effort into my food-making is if it's for other people [or my blog]!)

  9. YUM!
    Rachel recently posted…5 Areas of Running I’d Like to Improve Upon [Friday Five]My Profile

    1. :D!

  10. Sorry to hear about your rotation nightmare :( Crossing my fingers that it gets worked out for you!!! These breakfast cups look awesome and perfect for on the go….which is all I’ve been doing lately…go go go!

    1. Thank you! My school’s legal department…still…hasn’t responded. (So much for “getting back to me on Monday,” although today would’ve been too late anyway. ._.)

      I’m definitely right there with ya! :O

  11. Yum! Such delicious and fun ideas!

    1. Thanks, Rachel! :D!

    I usually do a variant with bell peppers and skip on the bread. Pretty tasty with a bit of cheese sprinkled on, too.

    1. Ooo, I’m gonna have to try that! :O

  13. Mmm egg cups are a great portable breakfast :) I’ve done them with scrambled eggs, but not all pretty like yours :)

    1. The only time I ever make an effort on making the food pretty = when I know it has to go up on the blog! Usually, things are a mess! :P

    So mouthwatering. Aside from it looks really fancy, it also comes in handy. It’s just perfect like having Pizza. This can be your go-to food :)
    Lou recently posted…To The Guy I Stopped Waiting ForMy Profile

    1. Ah, pizza is awesome! I haven’t made that in forever, but I really need to! *-*

    I just made a gluten-free breakfast casserole today that was a great hit with everyone. It’s not easy to find savory breakfast ideas that are universally liked.

    I was trying the other day to find your link with the foodie friday themes and I couldn’t. The last time I looked you had the themes through the end of September. Did you come up with more? Do you mind to give it to me again, please!
    Eva recently posted…The Ultimate Guide to Apple Books for ChildrenMy Profile

    1. That sounds awesome! :D I’m gonna need to try making it too!

      This is the link! I’m in the process of adding the rest of the year’s right now! <3 http://www.fairyburger.com/recipes/foodie-friday/

  16. A.DOR.A.BLE! Those are the cutest breakfast cups I have ever seen! And I am still needing to get my hands on some of those baking cups!!
    Bummer about the rotation frustrations! Will be keeping those in my prayers!

    1. Thanks so much, Esther! They’re super convenient! I’m sad that my brother stopped selling em’! x_x

      I’m don’t get to do that rotation at the end of this month, but fingers crossed that it gets to happen later on this year! *-*

  17. I love this! I have to be at work at 7am so I’m all about the quick and portable breakfast to go!

    1. I’m right there with ya! :O The less prep time in the morning that I need to deal with, the better!

    These look tasty. I have been looking for some new breakfast ideas. I have been getting bored with the usual scrambled eggs and coffee routine. I will be trying these!
