Quick breakfasts are always great to have in your repertoire, and these grab and go breakfast egg muffins are just that! The great thing about them is there are so many ways you can make them.

Quick healthy breakfasts feel impossible

My family and I love sitting down for breakfast together, reading scripture, and getting ready for our day. We definitely make it a priority in our daily routines. However, there is inevitably a day or more a week where breakfast needs to be quick!

For many of you who are sending kids off to school, or are heading out to work, a grab and go breakfast is necessary! The unfortunate thing is that most quick breakfasts are filled with gluten or sugar, or start with the words “Yes, I will have a ….” to the drive through worker.

I have been there oh too many times. But having some quick healthy breakfast options can really help get the day off on the right foot.

What’s an egg muffin?

An egg muffin is basically an egg bake but poured into a muffin tin, giving you 12 individual egg muffins for an easy grab-and-go breakfast situation.

Use just about any ingredients you would put into an egg bake

Meats:

  • Sausage
  • Rotisserie chicken
  • Kielbasa
  • Cubed ham (or any ham you have left over in your kitchen)
  • Ground Beef

Veggies:

  • Chopped kale
  • Bell peppers
  • Onions
  • Mushrooms
  • Tomatoes
  • Broccoli

Starches

  • Hashbrowns
  • Diced potatoes (sweet or regular)
  • Diced pieces of bread (if you are not gluten free).

Toppings or served with:

  • Cheese
  • Avocado
  • Salsa
  • Chipotle Aioli

Making them with whatever you have is a great way to save money and make a healthy breakfast. For example, when I made these egg muffins for the purpose of this post, I only had onions, kale and steak (that was about to go bad). It made a great little breakfast with out any planning!

How to make grab and go breakfast egg muffins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

Grease muffin tin with butter

Scramble 12 farm fresh eggs in a big bowl

Add 1/3 cup milk (or milk alternative of choice. I use almond and it tastes great).

Mix in 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Whisk together.

If you are adding meat like sausage, steak, or any ground meats, cook those up on a skillet first. They will cook a little in the oven but not enough, so you will want them to be cooked at least partially before putting them in.

Chop up veggies and add to egg mixture. Whisk together.

Add meat (if using meat).

With a 1/4 measuring cup pour in egg mixture into greased muffin tin.

Bake at 375 for 20-23 minutes.

Let cool for 5 minutes before taking them out of the tin with a fork.

Store in a gallon zip lock bag, or in a glass food storage container like these.

Things to know about making egg muffins

  • If you fill each muffin tin up too much, it will puff up and overflow (onto the bottom of your oven). I know from personal experience!
  • Adding cheese on top of them towards the end of the baking is a good option too, for a little topping!
