Brunch Egg Cups

Brunch egg cup

These egg cups in crepes are one of my favorite brunch recipes.

Served with some ham or bacon and a fruit salad, they are a wonderful brunch, breakfast or lunch recipe.


This recipe is also known as eggs in a basket, or what the French would call egg galettes.

You can either make these eggs in muffin tins or other ramekins that will create a cup for the eggs and mushrooms or you can make them in the galette style as shown in the image shown here. Both ways are described below.

Makes 6 egg cups.

Options:

  • These egg cups can be made in muffin tins or individual ramekins or custard cups as stated in the recipe. OR you can cook them the French way, as what they would call a galette. Just lay the cooked crepe on a baking pan and put some mushrooms in the center of the crepe. Crack an egg in the center of the crepe over the mushrooms, then gently pull up the sides of the crepe and fold over the outside edges of the egg, to make a square (as in the image above).
  • You can also add a few ounces of chopped, cooked ham distributed evenly over the mushrooms before you add the eggs.

I have included these wonderful brunch crepe egg cups as one of our diabetic recipes because they are fairly low carb (the crepes are quite low in carbs per crepe) and it’s nice to have something special for Sunday brunch, a light lunch or company fare.
