Baked Egg Cups
Getting enough protein as a vegetarian can be hard. Especially on campus where, let's be honest, the vegetarian options are pretty skimpy. But, this recipe is great for college kids because you can make it ahead of time, store in the freezer, grab in the morning and go to class. Eggs are an awesome source of both protein and healthy fats (make sure to buy humanely-raised and cage-free!!). Just whisk up your favorite scrambled egg recipe, add veggies and cheese and pour into a greased muffin tin. Pop in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Original recipe by Autumn Calabrese.
