Brunch Vibes, Activated ☕
Consider baking these easy egg breakfast cups using a muffin pan and croissants for your next special breakfast or brunch! Serve these beauties with a side of fresh fruit, maybe a mimosa, and watch your guests swoon. Ham and cheese croissant cups would be perfect for Easter brunch, or to make after Easter with leftovers!
Yes, we’re taking buttery store-bought croissants (hello, shortcut!) and transforming them into flaky nests of happiness, filled with smoky ham, perfectly baked eggs, and melty cheese. They’re individual, hand-held, and utterly brunch-worthy.
Bonus: your kitchen will smell like a Parisian bakery decided to throw a breakfast party.
This idea is wildly customizable—swap in bacon, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or even sun-dried tomatoes. This recipe is your canvas, and brunch is your masterpiece! I think a savory pizza version would be fun too with mozzarella cheese and pizza toppings. YUM!
Croissant Egg Muffin Cups
Buttery croissants are the anchor for these easy hand and cheese egg cups perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 6 croissants
- 7 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning
- 4 oz. diced turkey
- 4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
- topping idea: diced green onion
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
2
Slice up the croissants and place them in each cup. I cut mine in half and then cut the tips off so they were in a tube shape. Open them up a bit in the middle with your hands and place in the tin a a "crust" to your egg cups. They can be a little taller than the tin.
3
Inside a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and seasoning. Pour some in each muffin tin. Add a couple teaspoons of diced ham, and shreddde cheese.
4
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until cooked through. Once they’re golden, puffed, and irresistibly cheesy, pull them out, sprinkle with green onion or herbs if you’re feeling fancy, and serve warm.
Extra tips for making eggs and ham baked in croissant cups:
- If your croissants are extra large, you may be able to get three egg cups out of one. Don’t overthink the first step, just cut them to fit your muffin tin. You could instead make them larger and use a 6-slotted muffin pan!
- These are best enjoyed fresh, but they also reheat like a dream in the air fryer. Think meal prep for the week! I bet these would freeze well too.
Baked egg cups made with croissants are a genius idea!
The crunch that happens from the baked croissant crust is so satisfying and delclious along with the ham, cheese, and soft egg filling. They look super fancy, but were so simple and easy to compile. My family loved these, and I know yours will too.
This boxed cake, turned blueberry crumb cake, would be a wonderful brunch treat too!
