Breakfast Muffin Ingredients

  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Cheddar Cheese -it’s best to shred your own.
  • Fillings – You have plenty of options to pick from here! We went with some spinach, green onions, red and green bell peppers, ham, and tomatoes. Other fillings you might consider could be…
    • Bacon – Can’t go wrong with bacon and eggs!
    • Other leafy greens – Especially if you’re trying to keep these egg muffins healthy.
    • Mushrooms
    • Herbs/Spices – Try some herbs de Provence for some French flavor or add some basil to some tomato and spinach for something a bit more Italian.

Ingredients for breakfast muffins

How to make our Egg Muffin recipe

First things first, you want to get your eggs whisked. To a mixing bowl, add your eggs and milk. Mix these together like you would for scrambled eggs.

Egg mixture in a bowl

To prep your fillings, just ensure they’re chopped fairly small. We want to make sure these fit in the muffin tins, after all!

Diced meat and veggies for muffins

Now it’s time for assembly. If you’re using a metal muffin pan, make sure you’ve added a paper muffin liner. We used a silicone muffin pan and it is the BEST for making these. Paper liners work but silicone is the way to go with these. When your pan’s ready, add a small amount of egg to the bottom of each tin- we’re talking less than a quarter-full.

Egg added to muffin pan

We’re going to add our fillings at this point. Aim to use about a teaspoon’s amount of each filling- especially if you’re loading your muffins up!

Veggies and meat added to egg mixture

Once you’ve added your fillings, fill each tin up until they’re about 2/3 of the way full. Sprinkle about a teaspoon’s worth of cheddar cheese over each muffin before sending your tray into a 375 degree oven.

Baked egg muffins

Your muffins will need to bake for around 30-40 minutes- the centers will be set and your muffins will be a lovely, golden color. Once they’re done, carefully remove them from their tins- a paring knife ran along the edges helps- before storing or serving. Enjoy!

Freezing/Refrigerating your Egg Muffins

Before storing these egg muffins in any sort of way, allow them to cool down first. Your eggs will be safe even if they’ve sat on the counter for an hour or two! If storing the fridge, keep them in an air-tight container- they should last for around 3-4 days. To warm back up, we’d recommend using either the microwave or the oven: just give them a few minutes in either and they should be good to eat again! For freezer storage, wrap your individual muffins in some plastic wrap before either wrapping with foil or storing in a freezer bag. To reheat, transfer to fridge until thawed then follow our advice for reheating from there.
