These Veggie Breakfast cups are easy to whip up, freeze wonderfully for quick grab and go mornings, and taste delicious. You can make them with whatever fresh or frozen veggies you have on hand.
I like to use the frozen bag of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots- and they count for 0 points for Weight Watchers. You could also use fresh or frozen peppers, onions, mushrooms, or spinach. I eat a Veggie Breakfast Cup with a slice of whole wheat toast and black coffee to start off a great morning.

Spray bottoms of a 6- hole muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Divide thawed hash browns evenly, pressing into the bottom of muffin cups and slightly up the sides to create a “crust”.
Pour egg mixture evenly into cups.

What is the nutritional info on these veggie cups? I dont follow WW but would make them if I knew the nutritional info. Please include this info on all recipes in the future and include sodium, carb and actual sugar too. Thank you.
The nutrition value is on the recipe card. It’s only a courtesy so you should do your own calculation, too. Thanks
