Spinach and sun dried tomato egg cups are a quick and easy breakfast that you can take with you on the go. This recipe is more of a method instead of a set of hard and fast rules. Eggs are combined with vegetables, cheese and quinoa to create a hand held protein packed meal. You can easily substitute the sun dried tomatoes and spinach for the vegetable you have on hand. Also, feel free to add other protein such as chopped ham, turkey or breakfast sausage crumbles.
