Spicy Tuna Poke Egg Cups

These two-bite egg cups bring sushi-bar flavor to your breakfast table with a gentle, easy-to-digest approach. Egg whites are baked into sturdy little cups, then topped with sashimi-grade ahi tuna tossed in a light sriracha-sesame-soy sauce, a few cubes of creamy avocado, and a scatter of fresh scallion and sesame seeds. The result is bright, savory, and satisfying without any heavy sauces or fried elements. Built around lean protein from both egg whites and ahi tuna, this recipe delivers a substantial protein punch in a small, modest-sized portion that won't feel like too much. The sauce leans on soy, sesame, lime, and chili heat for big umami flavor instead of oil or cream, and the whole dish comes together in under 25 minutes with minimal cleanup. It's a naturally gluten-free breakfast when made with tamari, perfect for anyone wanting a light, nourishing, flavor-forward start to the day.
