Breakfast Egg Muffins
These Breakfast Egg Muffins are perfect for busy days! Make them ahead and reheat in the microwave for a fuss-free meal the whole family will love!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 2 drops hot sauce optional (or more to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup zucchini or fresh spinach finely chopped
- ¼ cup roasted red peppers finely chopped (from a 12 oz jar)
- 2 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded 4 ounces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin pan (or spray it with cooking spray) and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, hot sauce (if using), salt and pepper until well combined. Stir in the zucchini or spinach, roasted red peppers, red onion, and cheese. Divide the mixture evenly between the cups. (The cups will be close to full)
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the eggs are completely set.
- Allow the egg muffins to cool for 3-5 minutes in the pan. Carefully run a butter knife around the edge of each muffin cup to loosen for removal.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- These can be made ahead for a quick and easy breakfast or snack idea! Just pop them in the microwave to reheat them!
- Switch things up by substituting 1 to 1-1/2 cups of your favorite fillings in place of the zucchini, roasted red peppers, and onion! Below, I've listed a few ideas, but there are soooo many more - use whatever your family loves! You can also make a few different kinds in one muffin tin so you have a variety of flavors going on. ?
- Tomatoes, Chard, Mushrooms, Kale, Olives, Basil, Green peppers, Broccoli, Cauliflower, etc ...
- ham, bacon, sausage (chicken sausage is especially delicious!), leftover taco meat, chorizo, etc ...
- Swiss, Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, Goat, Colby-Jack, Mexican blend, etc ....
