Make your busy mornings simpler with these easy egg muffins. This high protein breakfast recipe is perfect for meal prep and provides a quick, grab and go breakfast solution for the whole week.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked meat (like sausage or bacon, chopped)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup chopped vegetables (spinach, peppers, onions)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Distribute your chosen cooked meat, cheese, and vegetables evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Do not overfill the cups; aim for about 1/4 full with solids.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set in the center and lightly golden brown.
  6. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. Store your make ahead breakfast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze them for longer storage.

Notes

  • For a low carb breakfast or keto egg muffins, skip any starchy vegetables like potatoes and use high-fat additions like extra cheese or bacon.
  • To reheat, microwave one or two egg cups for 30 to 60 seconds until warm throughout.
  • You can prepare a large batch of these breakfast egg cups on Sunday for quick grab and go breakfasts all week long.
  • If you use raw meat, you must cook it completely before adding it to the muffin tin mixture.
