6 8–ounce microwave-safe ramekins (available at Target)
Non-stick cooking spray
1 dozen Simply Balanced Cage-free eggs, 2 per portion

Market Pantry brand shredded Cheddar Jack Blend

Instructions
Lightly spray each ramekin with non-stick cooking spray.
Add 2 eggs to each ramekin and beat well with a fork. (Alternately, in a small to medium bowl, beat the twelve eggs and divide evenly between the six prepared ramekins.)
Add the filling ingredients and cheese depending on which version you will be making (see below for recommended flavor pairings) and gently stir to combine.
Place filled egg cup in microwave one at a time, cover and heat on high for 30 seconds. Remove, stir and place back in the microwave uncovered and heat on high for 45 – 60 seconds or until puffed up and cooked in the center. If the center of the eggs are a little wet, remove them anyway as they will continue to cook in the hot dish. (Be careful as the ramekins get hot so use pot holders).
Repeat for the remaining egg cups and serve immediately.
