What You Need For Your Egg Breakfast Muffins
All you really need is a muffin or cupcake tin, eggs, milk, and your favorite ingredients. You can add different toppings for more variety, and according to the different tastes in the family. This is a great recipe also if you want your kids to try new foods. The veggies are kind of hidden in the muffins, making it easier for picky eaters to want to eat them.
If you don’t eat them all for breakfast you can save some for later. You can even pop a few in a lunchbox or take them on-the-go for a healthy snack.
I really like these egg muffins with ham and cheese, or spinach and bacon. Mushrooms and cheese is another family favorite combination. Try also red or green peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and even some quinoa for extra protein. Make a big batch with different toppings and have them ready for the week. This way, you could have different flavors each time.
There are so many options to choose from and you can use whatever you have available in your fridge. Leftover veggies from dinner? Shredded cheese sitting in your refrigerator about to expire? What about some deli meats you have left from making some sandwiches? Don’t waste any food and make delicious egg muffins! Isn’t it just great? I think so! An easy breakfast option for all.
This recipe saves you time and money, and your family will absolutely love these easy breezy, super healthy and delicious breakfast egg muffins. You can keep them in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days. What I do is pop them in my toaster oven 5-7 minutes before serving. They also freeze well.
Making Egg Muffins Is A Great Way For Picky Eaters To Try New Foods
Kids love muffins so they will be more willing to try new foods if they are presented in a creative way. Try adding a veggie and see if they like it. You can start with mild flavors like spinach, cauliflower or carrots. Then, little by little add more ingredients, try using different toppings each time, and watch your kids fall in love with this recipe! Yum! For adults, this recipe is like eating your favorite omelette in the shape of a muffin.

Can you use egg whites?
Creative And Healthy Fun Food says
Hi, I don’t see why not 🙂
Mat says
I just made these with eggwhites. They turned out great!
Creative & Healthy Family says
Good to know. Thanks!
Amelia says
Sounds like a good idea. These would freeze okay?
Creative And Healthy Fun Food says
Thank you Amelia. Yes, you can freeze and save them for later 🙂
ShelenaM says
How long do you think these would last in the fridge? I think these would be great for meal prep, but I’m not sure how often I would need to make a batch.
Creative And Healthy Fun Food says
Hi, I would keep them in the fridge for 3-4 days max.
Tory says
So you don’t have to cook the veggies before hand? That would be a bonus!
Creative And Healthy Fun Food says
It depends on the veggies. When I make them with mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, or peppers I don’t cook them before. Hope this helps!
Heather says
How big is your muffin pan. 7 eggs only filled up 5 of my muffin holes! I just made another eggwash Bach and continued so we will see if they come out good??
Creative And Healthy Fun Food says
Hi Heather, I have a small muffin pan. You should be fine if you make another batch. I recommend mini muffin pans for this recipe. Hope this helps 🙂
Trenton says
How many calories are in one of these?

Creative And Healthy Fun Food says
Hi, you can keep them in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. They also freeze well. Hope you enjoy them ????
Shelby Jenkins says
Single mom of two and trying to find easy meal prep ideas. Would these be good to freeze? How could i reheat them? Or to keep in fridge for up to 4 days?
Marie says
Ever freeze the breakfast egg muffins? And if so how do you prepare them?
Creative & Healthy Family says
They freeze well. You can put them in the oven afterwards.
Ryan says
If I batch cooked them how long would they be good for ?
Creative & Healthy Family says
Hi, I keep mine in the fridge for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze them if you want them to last longer. Hope this helps 🙂
Kristy says

Creative Healthy Family says
Thank you! My kids love making these muffins!
Amy says
I am in the process of making these and have to stop and go to the store because seven eggs wasn’t close to enough. I got five and a half muffin cups filled, so it’s off to the store for me.
Creative Healthy Family says
I’m so sorry about this. Maybe the recipe varies a little depending on the size of the eggs. For me 7 large eggs was enough.
Jenifer K. says
The eggs will expand a lot in the oven as they cook, so beware of that as you add more eggs. I just made with 10 eggs in regular muffin size pan, as I have 2 high schoolers. They look and smell delicious! Rounded up over the cups as they cooked! Thanks for the great recipe.
Creative Healthy Family says
Thank you!
Areesha Zahid says
nice idea but is it light diet ???

Creative Healthy Family says
Glad you liked it. Thank you for your comment and review.
Lumps says
If you freeze do you defrost these then reheat or do reheat from frozen and how do you reheat oven or microwave tia
Creative Healthy Family says
Hi, I usually take them out of the freezer into the refrigerator the night before, then I just reheat them in the oven. Hope this helps 🙂
Pam says
Great recipe. Easy. Delicious. Needed more eggs to fill my muffin tins.
★★★★
Creative Healthy Family says
Thank you so much for your comment!
Rachel says
I have chickens so always looking for ways to use eggs! Used jumbo muffin tins and put a thin round of brown soda bread on the bottom. Trying to give them a base but I don’t really think they need it. 11 eggs for 6 jumbo muffins. Used cubed roasted pumpkin, spinach and cherry tomatoes. Yumm!!

Creative Healthy Family says
Thank you!
Morgan says
I just made these and they turned out great, except that they stuck to the muffin pan and weren’t golden on the outside. I greased the muffin tin with butter, any tips to keep them from falling apart when you take them out? Thanks!
Creative Healthy Family says
Hi, glad to know you liked the recipe. I think you will need to cook them for an extra couple of minutes so they don’t fall apart when you take them out. I grease the muffin tin with some ghee, butter or olive oil. Silicone molds are also great because the muffins won’t stick. Hope this helps 🙂
Tamara says
I love making these for my husband and I make 2 different kinds veggie and meat …I’ve been making them for couple years but my husband told me when he microwave them a bunch of “liquid” comes.out of the muffins…
Anyone else have this issue??
Gwen says
These look great and I can’t wait to try them. I like to make breakfast muffins and have some other recipes, but the universal problem seems to be the excess moisture when you microwave them. The best solution I’ve come up with is to put a folded up paper towel under the thawed muffins to soak up the moisture. Hope this helps.
