Egg Breakfast Muffins

April 23, 2013

I’m on a frozen convenience breakfast roll lately.  Here’s another one of my favorites.  These Egg Breakfast Muffins are so easy and can include basically anything you like.  I happened to have a lot of things around to put in these this time, but I’ve made them with fewer ingredients.

First step is to spray the muffin tin and preheat the oven to 375.

I love adding a piece of bread to the bottom of the muffin. It adds almost a French toast taste to the bottom because it soaks in some of the egg. I save the ends of my bread to use for this and place a quarter of the slice into the muffin tins.

This time around I decided to pour a bit of the egg substitute into the cups before adding the other ingredients. If this is what you choose to do, do so slowly or the egg will fill under the bread and it will rise up. To make sure this doesn’t happen, try to press your bread in the cup tightly, quickly toast the bread, or place the other ingredients on the bread before adding the egg. Now is also a good time to season your eggs.

Add your fillers. I happened to have some sausage patties and ham cut from a prior breakfast of omelets. I also added some bacon pieces.

Here come the famous onions. I love them in eggs, and they are so handy because they’re already cut and frozen in a Parmesan cheese container.

Last is the cheese. I like the cheese to melt at the top, but adding it before the last of the egg didn’t quite work out. To give the muffin a better look, add a bit more egg and save the cheese for the very last.

Cook for about 20 minutes, or until it appears the egg has set. I’ve never had any stick to the pan and they should come out beautifully.

Gorgeous! Let them cool and freeze for a quick delicious breakfast.

    1. Great idea! I’ve done egg whites with broccoli and a bit of cheese too. I love mixing it up – these just happen to be a loaded version! 🙂

  1. These look delicious! And sound so easy too.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog yesterday and for your sweet comment on our ceiling fan update 🙂

  2. These look fantastic! I really need to do this. I’ve been on a smoothie kick lately – but this morning I spilled it all over the counter! Thanks for sharing!

    1. Oh no! :). These will be even quicker than a smoothie is you freeze them. Big tip – make sure they sit out and cool a bit before freezing or they will end up watery – it really helps to freeze them on a pan or plate first if you have room.

  3. These were delicious. Thank you for posting this. My husband loved it too. We froze some, and it was a quick fix meal. Thank you again.

  4. how do you reheat the frozen muffins? Do you thaw them first or reheat frozen? Reheat in oven (temp and time) or microwave (power level and time)? Thanks.

    1. I pop them right in the microwave – I give it 30 seconds and then flip them over for another 30. I’m never sure the wattage / power level of our microwave – just play around with it – they’re pretty forgiving and they’ll turn out great!

  5. I clicked on your link for the “famous onions” but it was a broken link. I have never frozen onions, are you referring to green or yellow onions?

  6. Wow…I love how simple this can be. Will most definitely use it for a healthy breakfast or a snack for after workout. ~ Pang Ramkumar admin of healthactiv.com
