Egg Muffins

Egg Muffins

A great way to organize you breakfast for the week is to make a batch of Egg Muffins, wrap them up and store them in the freezer. They are full of protein and super easy to customize with any toppings or add-ins you like.

Basic Egg Muffin Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 – 1 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
 Whisk them together in a large 4-cup measuring cup or a mixing bowl. Add any other seasonings you like.

Divide evenly among muffin cups (about 1/2 – 2/3 cups full) and sprinkle with any additional toppings.


Then add some of your favorite vegetables, herbs and spices.

Pre-heat the oven to 400 ‘ F and cook egg muffins for 12-15 minutes and once cooled, you can store them in resealable bags or glass containers.

Keep them in the fridge (or freezer) and every morning, heat one up in the microwave for 30-40 seconds.
