These egg muffins have become a breakfast staple in our home, and it’s no wonder why—our kiddos devour them! There are three foolproof reasons: 1. They love eggs. 2. They get to pick their own mix-ins and help make them. 3. I call them muffins, and anything with the word “muffin” is an instant hit!
Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Spinach
- Cheese
- Turkey Sausage
Instructions:
- Start by greasing your muffin tin with cooking spray (I usually reach for olive oil spray, but canola or vegetable oil works just as well).
- Crack an egg into a bowl and scramble it with a fork. Here’s a little confession: my partner thinks it’s ridiculous that I mix one egg at a time, but I find it easier this way. When I mix them all at once, I struggle to get the right portion into each muffin cup!
- Pour one scrambled egg into each muffin cup—one egg equals one muffin!
- Now comes the fun part: add your chosen ingredients! For today’s batch, we tossed in some finely chopped spinach, turkey sausage, and a sprinkle of American cheese. You can add these before or after the egg, just be sure to give them a little stir if you add them afterward.
- Bake at 425°F for about 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the edges start turning golden brown.
These egg muffins freeze like a dream! Once they’ve cooled, wrap each one in plastic wrap and store them in a large zip-top bag. To defrost, the fridge overnight is ideal, but if you forget, just use the microwave on a low setting.
I adore this recipe because it allows me to prepare a big batch ahead of time, ensuring we have quick and easy breakfasts ready to go. One frantic morning, I heated up the muffins, cut them into bite-sized pieces, and tossed them into a red Solo cup with a fork. The girls had a warm breakfast on the way to school, and even though we were racing against the clock, I felt great knowing they were fueled up!
Get creative with add-ins! The possibilities are endless—try peppers, onions, bacon, broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, or even turkey (think Thanksgiving!). You can even sneak in some potatoes or shredded chicken!
