These savory zucchini and sweet potato egg cups are the perfect way to start your day. They're packed with protein and vegetables, and they're easy to make. Plus, they're a great way to use up leftover zucchini and sweet potatoes.
The inspiration for these egg cups came to me one morning when I was trying to figure out what to do with some leftover zucchini and sweet potatoes. I had already made zucchini bread and sweet potato fries, so I was looking for something new. I decided to combine the two vegetables in an egg cup, and the result was delicious! My kids loved them, and I've been making them ever since.
