Make your busy mornings simple with these easy egg muffins. This recipe is perfect for meal prep, offering a high-protein, grab-and-go breakfast that you can customize with your favorite fillings like sausage, bacon, or vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled sausage or bacon (optional mix-in)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional mix-in)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or bell peppers (optional mix-in)

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 together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Distribute your chosen mix-ins (sausage, cheese, vegetables) evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about one-third full with the solid ingredients.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the solid ingredients in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Do not overfill.
  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set in the center and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  6. Let the egg muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them.
  7. Serve immediately or cool completely before storing for meal prep.

Notes

  • For freezer-friendly storage, cool the egg muffins completely, then place them in an airtight, freezer-safe container or bag. They keep well for up to one month.
  • To reheat, microwave a frozen egg muffin for 60 to 90 seconds, or until heated through.
  • You can substitute any cooked meat or vegetable you prefer. This recipe is great for using up leftover cooked ingredients.
