I love brunch, don’t you? I mean, when else is it perfectly acceptable to consume two full meals in one sitting? OK, now granted my ability to eat ginormous meals isn’t what it used to be, but there were more occasions than I care to admit to that I went to a brunch buffet and did just that and then some. You know, a breakfast of pancakes and bacon and fruit and pastries. Then hit up the salad bar, followed by some lunch entrees like pasta or chicken dishes, a few veggies sides. And let’s not forget dessert.

In fact, The Hubby and I went to a brunch buffet in Vegas, specifically a champagne brunch buffet, and I’m not sure if we rolled out of there because of the amount of food we consumes, or floated out of there on the bubbles of the multiple glasses of champagne.

Now I try to keep my portions a bit more reasonable. And that is easy to do with perfectly portioned egg muffin cups…

Sorry, I did all I could to make these pretty for you, and was totally unsuccessful. To be honest, I didn’t get these done in time to take photos before dinner (yes, we are big breakfast for dinner people), so I had to reheat them the next day. And even reheated, they taste so much better than they look. I love the sweet and savory combination. I mean, eggs and cheese work. Cheese and apples work. Apples and sweet potatoes work. Why not throw them all together? Especially in the totally adorable and fabulously tasty little Apple & Sweet Potato Egg Muffin Cups!

These are just another twist on my Broccoli, Potato & Cheese Egg Muffin Cups, and as you can see, they are totally versatile. I like to keep them vegetarian since The Bug has to being meatless meals to school, and these leftovers are perfect to pop into his lunchbox, but these would be delicious with some ham or bacon. Switch out the cheeses for a different flavor. And I am sure you could come up with a million more combinations. I know that’s what I’ll be doing.

    I made these tonight and didn’t see where to add the cheese in the directions. I added it with the eggs and they turned out great.

  2. I love brunch, especially on Sunday when I have time to just sit and relax. I usually go for cereal first, then croissant and omelette. After a short break I began to hit the salad bar, followed by a warm dish. And at the end, it’s the highlight…dessert!! 🙂
