Three Reasons I LOVE Breakfast Egg Muffins:
It’s actually hard to narrow it down to just three reasons, but here are my top three reasons for loving this breakfast egg muffin recipe:
- They are high in protein, and low in just about everything else (carbs, sugar, etc.) This is real energy food, my friends. Just what growing bodies need!
- They can be made ahead of time! As much as I would love to channel June Cleaver and have serve my family a pancake feast with all the fixings every single day of the week, that’s just not my reality. But, if I can find ten minutes on a Sunday night, we are sure to be whipping up a batch of these egg muffins!
- Thanks to OXO’s precision batter dispenser—which helps to fill the muffin tin with our whisked egg mixture without any mess—and non-stick muffin pans, this recipe comes together quickly and easily.
Egg Muffin Extra Extras?
The sky's the limit here, my friends! Truly, almost any savory thing that your family loves will fit the bill. There are so many delicious flavor combinations! In the end, we went with the classic breakfast trio of bacon, cheddar cheese, and jalapeños. But the recipe is versatile and adaptable! If you don’t eat meat, leave it out! Or swap it for veggie sausage. If you don’t do cheese, just leave it out or swap in a favorite veggie. Here are a few other egg muffin ingredient combo ideas we love:
- Spinach, mushroom and Swiss cheese.
- Crumbled feta, spinach, sun dried tomatoes. If this one is calling your name check out our Spinach Feta Wrap.
- Cubed Black Forest ham, cheddar and chives.
- Diced bell peppers, green onions & cheddar.
How Do I Make an Egg Muffin?
Mixing up a batch of egg muffins is so easy that we hesitate to call it a recipe. But, then again, you’re here for a recipe, right? So here’s how it’s done:
- Fill the cups of a non-stick muffin tin halfway with crumbled bacon, cheddar, and chopped jalapeños. FYI, this is a fun job for tiny hands! Yay for an easy, mess free way to get them involved in cooking.
- Whisk your eggs vigorously until they’re well-mixed and frothy, then ladle the mixture (ever so carefully) into the muffin tins, or if you have an OXO precision batter dispenser you can use that.
- Throw it in the oven and watch them rise! This is also a fun one for the kids to witness.
How Do You Store Make-Ahead Egg Muffins?
The fact that these muffins can be made ahead of time is probably my favorite thing about them. Once they’re prepared and baked, they stay fresh for up to five days in an airtight container stored in the fridge! All you have to do his heat them up in your microwave for a minute or in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes and breakfast is done! Amazing, right? A hot, and healthy breakfast for the family in just two minutes.
