These tasty breakfast cups were inspired by my usual breakfast that if you follow me on Instagram I am sure you see quite often, egg whites, bacon and home fries cooked with peppers & onions.. I probably eat this at least 3 times a week and I figured why not throw them all together and make some easy grab and go egg white cups out of it. The end result was a delicious breakfast cup filled with all my favorites and just 1 smart point each! To see the home fries I use and the nutritional info you can refer to my product review.
Egg white breakfast cups
1PP, 1SP blue, green & purple
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups frozen home fries
- 3/4 cup diced green pepper
- 3/4 cup diced onion, I use red onion
- Dash of salt & pepper
- 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
- 4 slices low point bacon, cooked (I use Wegman's center cut bacon)
- 2 cups liquid egg whites, in the carton
Instructions
- In a large frying pan over medium heat cook your home fries using a little cooking spray, add in your diced peppers & onions, salt & pepper and cajun.
- You can cook your bacon at this time in a separate pan, drain, crumble and add to home fries.
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Once home fries are cooked (about 15 minutes) spray a 12 hole regular muffin pan with some cooking spray, best to spray well.
- Add 1/4 cup of home fries mixture to each muffin cup, then pour your egg whites over the mixture until cup is full. Repeat for all 12 cups, you may require a little more than 2 cups of liquid egg whites.
- Bake in oven for approx 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes then carefully remove cups using a knife to scrape around edges.
- Makes 12 cups at 1 PP or 1 smart point each on blue, green & purple (1 points plus) *Please note I did not figure the nutritional info out for these, simple math tells me that because the only ingredients with points is the home fries (8SP) and bacon (4SP) then each cup is 1SP, the egg whites per muffin has a 0SP count, if you have 3 or more at 1 time then I would add 1 point for the egg whites.
- Best stored in fridge, after 2 days I would freeze.

How do get your egg whites to not stick in pan? I have tried oil Pam butter all to no avail. Thanks. Love your recipes we use them all the time
Hi Jill, I use a canola oil cooking spray, these did stick a little so I suggest you spray well 🙂 Glad your enjoying the recipes
I Have been looking for some new breakfast foods ,this is one I willl try .
I have made many of your recipes and enjoyed them all.
Thank You for all the time and effort you put intoo this site !
Thanks Sandi.. I hope you enjoy these breakfast cups, so yummy! 🙂
Have you tried using the paper cupcake liners? I wonder if they would work? I really want to try these!!!
No, I am not sure if they would just stick to those and make a mess, but if you try let me know the outcome please 🙂
They stick to The paper liners so you lose a good portion of your egg
I did not use paper liners as I knew they would stick, I did not reference to use them in the recipe..
Oh my gosh this made my tummy rumble! Looks great!
Thanks, I hope you enjoy them!
Is it possible that the measurements for the home fries are incorrect? 1.5 cup of fries divided by 12 is way less than 1/4 cup per tray? Still they were very good though 🙂
Hi there, your forgetting about the peppers/onions, the 1/4 cup in each muffin cup includes them as well 🙂
can you tell me what home fries you are using?
Hi, see week 1 in my product reviews 🙂
I made these today and my family raved about them! There were 2 slight differences. I used McCain’s sweet potato fries instead of hashbrowns because I didn’t have any. And for some color, I added a pinch of shredded lowfat cheese to each so the points may be up by one. I also used Pam as the cooking spray as they came out of the pan beautifully.
So glad everyone enjoyed them Debbie 🙂
I have made these a couple of times now, I love them! I do tend to freeze them after 2 days, then take out and put in fridge for breakfast in the morning! I also changed bacon to turkey bacon as no bacon on hand!
Thanks for the recipes!
Hi Jacque, glad you enjoy the egg cups and good to know they freeze well thank you 🙂
How would the points change if I used the whole egg, not just the whites? (New to this… thanks!)
Hi Toni, eggs are 2 points each.. so say you wanted to use 6 eggs, you would add 1 point extra to each cup
On Freestyle, eggs are free so it should be fine with whole eggs, correct?
Absolutely 🙂 I just made the recipe before freestyle so I used egg whites 🙂
would this work in a cup in the microwave?
Hi, good question, all I can say is give it a go.. as long as your potatoes and veggies/bacon are cooked
