Indulging in a proper breakfast is one of the best ways we can think of to honor mom (or yourself), and this recipe for Cheesy Baked Egg Cups tastes far more decadent than the effort needed to pull it together.

Hosting a group for brunch? These Cheesy Baked Egg Cups can be prepped up to an hour ahead of time. Simply pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake them.
A quick spin under the broiler gives these Cheesy Baked Egg Cups gorgeous browned tops and ensures they are perfectly cooked. Love your eggs a bit runny? Shorten the broiling time.
