Bite-Sized Breakfast Egg Cups at Farmers Market

August 31, 2022 By Morgan

Last weekend, we were invited to our local Farmers Market to do a cooking demonstration. We made bite-sized breakfast egg cups. Everyone wanted the recipe, but there really isn’t one. It’s whatever you have in the fridge plus eggs and cheese.

The Hutchinson Farmers Market is Wednesdays from 2:30-5:30p and Saturdays from 8a-12p and runs through Saturday, October 29th. To learn more visit their website. 

Process:

  • Dice veggies, sauté over medium heat with a little oil (I used Pam spray, I find that with eggs it’s the best for nonstick outcomes, but I prefer olive oil, I have tried other brands than Pam and they just don’t perform as well).  
  • Whisk eggs, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper on the side (you can add milk, cream, or water to the eggs, but I did not). 
  • Pour egg mixture over sautéd veggies, add a healthy-sized dollop of your favorite salsa, stir everything together.
  • Once eggs are almost done, sprinkle on cheese. Let melt.
  • Spoon into tortilla chip cups (we used Tostito Scoops, but there are others out there), don’t assemble too early or they’ll get soggy and cold). 
  • If you’re not serving a crowd, you can put them into regular corn or flour tortillas for breakfast tacos. That’s what I normally do, but that is not ideal in a cooking demo.
  • Ideas for veggies: peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, tomatoes, fresh herbs like dill and cilantro … basically anything you’d like in an omelette.

The tray is glazed in zappa, with only one handle visible, as one end is out of frame. the scrambled egg mixture has red and green vegetables mixed into the eggs, they are small enough that they are not easily identifiable. further away from the camera is a portable cooking burner. the burner has been used with a clay coyote small skillet to make the egg and vegetable mixture that is filling all the tortilla cups. there is a good amount of the scrambled egg mixture still in the small skillet. the large tray and the burner/small skillet are all sitting on a wooden picnic style table with large planks visible making up the table top. on the very left side of the photograph, mostly cut out of frame is a small stack of white paper napkins. the very corner of a clay coyote little dipper can be seen on top of the napkin pile. only one corner of the square style little dipper can be seen, as the rest is cut out of frame like the napkin pile.
