Paleo Pizza Egg Cups

I have an exciting announcement: It’s ok to eat pizza for breakfast (even though you aren’t in college anymore). Not the soggy, dorm-fridge leftovers. No no no. Prepare to stuff your pizza-lovin’ face with these paleo pizza egg cups.

Pin It!

Pizza for breakfast? Try these paleo pizza egg cups - pop in the microwave for breakfast in seconds

There is a lot I miss about college life, but can we just talk about communal showers? G-ROSS. I don’t miss having to wear flip flops and drag my shower caddy along with me every morning. Despite the less-than-ideal shower routine, one of the best things about college mornings was heading to the dorm cafeteria and having a hot and ready breakfast.

Ten plus years later, I’ve figured a way to have warm breakfast ready for me in a matter of seconds, that packs a tasty pizza punch without the carbs and grease. Totally customizable, totally healthy, and the grab-and-go option I need with a busy toddler and a crazy schedule. Freshman 15? PHFFF – more like post-college lean! Dr. Suess eat your heart out. (yep, I gradumatated)

These paleo pizza egg cups are low carb, dairy-free, and high in protein. Make a batch for the work week and in the morning, simply microwave for 45 seconds – there you have it, breakfast. Yes, you read that right – a healthy breakfast in under one minute. Or freeze half and pull them out whenever you’re feeling an intense pizza craving.

I always use my trusty silicone baking cups whenever I whip up a batch of muffins or egg cups, but admittedly, I wanted to try making a few of these without the baking cup liners, to avoid the little cupcake indents on the side. So I did half with the liners and half without. Let me just say, never will again will I ditch the liners! Despite me diligently greasing my muffin tin, it was kind of a beast trying to get these egg cups out in one piece. Maybe I’m oven challenged, or maybe I’m heavily reliant on my flexi-silicone helpers, but if you want to avoid delicately wedging a butter knife between the egg cup and the pan, I highly suggest using these baking cups so the egg will slide right out.

To start, I combined a dozen eggs with 1/3 cup coconut milk. You can substitute in almond milk instead. Add your ‘toppings’ – I chose diced ham, olives, and green onions, but you can add whatever your taste buds prefer. Then add the dried herbs and salt and pour into a greased (or silicone lined) cupcake or muffin tin. Next, I dropped 1 teaspoon pizza sauce in each cup and took a butter knife and gently swirled the sauce a few times to combine. I decided to do this individually and not in the overall mixture for two reasons: 1. I didn’t want my egg cups to turn red and 2. I also didn’t want them to taste entirely of pizza sauce. The swirl technique gives the egg cups a pizza punch, while keeping that traditional egg flavor for breakfast. You can choose whatever method you prefer!

Bake the egg cups at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is done.

  1. Yum! What a fun idea and a great healthy way for us to get our pizza fix! I love egg cups for breakfast, but I’ve never thought to make them for a snack or dinner option. Perfect-o!

    And yes…communal showers are NASTY. 🙂

    • So nasty, right?! I mean, I try not to be too prissy but something about public showers and bathrooms for that matter, just give me the ickies. I really shouldn’t talk about community showers and gross bathrooms in the same post as food, should I? Lol! Thanks Blair 🙂

    • The liners!!! I actually surprised myself what a difference it was making half with them and half without. One of those little life lessons you kind of already know but have to experience to solidify your opinions 😉

  5. Seriously, I LOVE this idea. Egg cups kind of freak me out. Well, cold eggs kind of freak me out – but this recipe sounds too dang delicious to pass up! I just have to try it. And I think my little nephews who are staying with me right now would love them too!!

  9. Yum! These look like a fun way to change up eggs for my kids in the mornings! Of course, for them I will need to leave out onions and peppers, but can add the extra to mine! Can’t wait to give them a try tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe!

    • You are so prepared! I love it!! Freezing “to-go” options like this keep me sane (and healthy). Thank you for the photography compliment! It means so much to me Heather!

  16. Ok. YUM!!!!! Making asap. Question / store in fridge, right? How long do you think they will last? I’m so bad at determining this stuff.

    Reply

    • Yep! Sorry I probably should have included that. I would say you could stretch it 6-7 days in the refrigerator. I’m not great at determining it either, but I figure a week is the max for most things 😉

  21. Coming over after finding you through the FB group post on listing the three words 🙂 Love your blog! And thankfully I always had an apartment so I never had to experience the communal showers 😛

    xo,

  25. We have had MAJOR trouble finding any kind of ham, turkey, etc. that is Whole30 compliant. What do you buy?!
