Healthy Breakfast Egg Muffins
Description
Healthy Breakfast Egg Muffins are made by whisking eggs and skim milk with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Finely chopped fresh baby spinach and white button mushrooms are folded into the mixture. Baking in a greased muffin tin produces small, handheld portions with a tender, moist interior. The mushrooms and spinach add mild earthiness and subtle texture contrasts, complementing the lightly seasoned eggs. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes ensures the muffins are cooked through but still moist.
This dish works well as a grab-and-go breakfast or snack, especially when prepared in advance. The egg muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, making them practical for meal planning. They can be eaten warm or cold, though cooling before storage is recommended for best texture.

Ingredients
- 6 egg
- 1/2 cup milk skim
- 1 dash Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 cups baby spinach chopped finely, packed, fresh
- 5 ounces white button mushrooms chopped finely
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and move the rack to the middle of the oven. Grease a 12-muffin tin thoroughly (I used Pam cooking spray).
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the eggs, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt & pepper. Whisk together thoroughly.
- Chop the spinach and mushrooms, and stir them into the egg mixture.
- Spoon the egg mixture equally into each cavity of the muffin tin.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- You can eat the egg muffins warm, but make sure you let them cool thoroughly prior to storing them. They will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking during baking.
- Allow muffins to cool completely before storing to maintain texture.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days for optimum freshness.
