Egg Muffins: 3 Easy Meal Prep Ideas For Breakfast
Egg Muffins provide a versatile breakfast option, using beaten eggs mixed with finely chopped onion and seasoned with salt and pepper. The muffins are divided into three flavor variations: Tomato Spinach Mozzarella, Bacon Cheddar, and Garlic Mushroom Pepper. Each combination is baked in a muffin tin until set, yielding individual, savory muffins with a firm but tender texture. They are convenient for meal prep as they can be stored and reheated for several days.
