Apr 16, 2023
I just love this recipe for high protein macro friendly egg cups with turkey sausage, red peppers, and spinach. These egg cups are perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast or snack. They're packed with protein and nutrients, and the big bonus- they're so easy to make! I love recipes like these because they're so versatile. I can change up the ingredients to suit my mood or what I have on hand. For example, switch up the peppers, add mushrooms, green onions, salsa, different kids of cheeses like mozzarella, Laughing Cow or gruyere. I've also made them with different types of proteins, such as chorizo, italian sausage, canadian or crispy bacon. No matter how you make them, these egg cups are sure to please!
