Egg Muffins: 3 Easy Meal Prep Ideas For Breakfast
Description
This recipe uses large eggs whisked with chopped onions, salt, and pepper as a base. The batter is divided among muffin cups and topped with one of three distinct flavor combinations. The Tomato Spinach Mozzarella muffins blend fresh spinach, halved tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella for a fresh, mild taste. The Bacon Cheddar muffins incorporate cooked bacon pieces and sharp cheddar cheese for a smoky, rich flavor. The Garlic Mushroom Pepper muffins feature sautéed mushrooms, red bell pepper, parsley, and garlic powder to add an earthy, aromatic note.
Baked at 350°F until set, the muffins develop a slightly firm texture with a soft interior. They can be enjoyed immediately or cooled and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days, making them ideal for breakfast meal prep or quick snacks.
Ensuring the muffin tin is well-greased or lined with parchment or cupcake liners prevents sticking and eases removal.
