Egg and Toast Cups

Feb 9, 2015 24 Comments

These egg and toast cups are the perfect finger food breakfast for kids. They also serve as a portable breakfast for busy mornings.Egg and Toast Cups: a healthy breakfast for kids and adults @katieserbinski

I’m making it my life’s mission [at this moment in time] to get my toddler to eat eggs. Wait. Ok. Let me change that. I’m making it my life’s mission to get my toddler to eat breakfast every morning, preferably one that includes eggs. Is he making this possible? Of course not. He’s a toddler! Do I think he has to eat eggs to grow healthy? Of course not.

There’s plenty of other breakfast foods out there that will help him grow big and strong. My mission is purely selfish! I would love to wake up, scramble an egg, give him some milk and fruit along with it, and BAM breakfast complete! But my little mister is giving me a run for my money and turning his nose up at eggs…

He was grabbing for the eggs when I was trying to snap my recipe photo. Imagine that!

Bringing out the “Mom-Look” with Egg and Toast Cups

So I’m doing what any stubborn Mom would do back at her stubborn child. I’m pinning and trying out new recipes to see if he’ll grab for the nutritious white globe one of these days! These egg and toast cups have everything I want in a breakfast: eggs, toast, and cheese. They are also the perfect toddler food [or perfect for any busy person on the go] because they are cooked in muffin tins, making their shape easy to grab n’ go. I’ve also read positive things about serving picky and choosy kids food in muffins tins— with the goal of sparking their interest in trying a new food!

Nutritious AND minimal ingredients. That’s my kind of breakfast!

Warning: grease those muffin tins like there’s no tomorrow. Or else you eggs will stick! Which wouldn’t be the end of the world if my toddler could do the dishes…

Did Joey eat the egg and toast cups? Nope. He ate the toast and the cheese and threw the scrambled egg at me. But alas, there was some egg on that toast and cheese. So he DID get a little! I’m not giving up yet folks. If you have a picky eater who turns their nose up at eggs, what are some ways you tried to peak their interest in the food?

Breakfast recipes Joey [my toddler] approves: 

  • No-Bake Breakfast Cookies
  • 5 Ingredient Blender Pancakes [this one has eggs, shhhhh]
  • Jazzed-Up Peanut Butter Toast

    I’m a big fan of egg muffins (or egg cups, whatever you like to call them!). Fun for the kids and easy for moms and dads if you make a batch ahead of time and freeze. Just pull them out of the freezer, microwave, and breakfast is served!

      Do they get mushy with reheating? ?

    • Katie says

      Not really. They were pretty soft to begin with because I used more egg than toast.

    Kids can be so finicky. I think any child would love these. My husband would too.

    I made these just minutes after finding the recipe on Pinterest. I used only 4 eggs and 1 slice of whole wheat bread and it made 6 muffins. I did forget to use cheese though. My 15 mth old liked them and I did too. I’ll be making more and I’ll be sure not to forget the cheese.

    Maybe you can try French toast or for your little guy, French toast sticks. You can also store them in the fridge or freezer as you described above.
