Mornings are chaotic. These egg muffins are not. Whisk, pour, bake, and you’ve got breakfast for the whole week. They’re like little portable omelets—no utensils required.
Fill them with whatever you have in the fridge: bacon, sausage, spinach, bell peppers, cheese. Each muffin is soft, fluffy, and surprisingly satisfying. Make a batch on Sunday, eat like a hero all week.
Ingredients
Makes 12 muffins.
- 12 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk (any kind)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fillings (choose any): cooked bacon, sausage, ham, chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with oil or butter.
- Chop your fillings into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy and uniform in color.
Step 3: Fill the Muffin Cups
- Divide fillings evenly among the 12 cups (about 1-2 tablespoons each).
- Sprinkle cheese over the fillings.
- Pour egg mixture into each cup, filling about ¾ full. Stir gently with a fork to distribute everything.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until muffins are puffed and set in the center. A toothpick should come out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to release.
Step 5: Serve or Store
- Eat warm, or let cool completely before storing.
