Add a bit of a kick to your breakfast with these easy-to-make and delicious Pepperoni Breakfast Cups!
I think we all like a nice, hot breakfast on a cold winter day, but we don’t like the muss and fuss that goes with preparing one, especially so early in the morning!
So, while I was trying to come up with some Pepperoni recipe ideas, I decided to make a savory, hot breakfast that is also super easy to make.
Even if your eyes are still a bit blurry with sleep, you’ll be able to pull this one off.
This Pepperoni Breakfast Cups recipe with Hormel Pepperoni is made in muffin tins and an easy way to make breakfast for a crowd.
Two of these cups is a good amount for a hearty breakfast for most (maybe one for a kid or 3 for a big eater), so you can feed about 6 with each muffin pan.
Pop two pans in the oven and you can feed a dozen people in no time!
This recipe starts with our basic Egg Toast Cups recipe and then goes a step further by adding that pepperoni and mozzarella.

This looks great. However, I don’t eat pork so I would have to substitute it with turkey.

These look really good and I love how easy they are to make. I think the kids would enjoy this. I think for myself I might like it better using a beaten egg instead, might have to see if that would work.
