Description

There’s something magical about a breakfast that feels indulgent, takes minutes to prep, and keeps you full all morning. These Easy and Delicious Egg Muffins are exactly that kind of magic. They’re portable, customizable, packed with protein—and truly anything but boring!!

I’ve been leaning on these for rushed mornings, lazy brunches, and everything in between. They’re a meal-prepper’s dream and a lifesaver when you want something hearty but healthy. Plus, they’re the perfect excuse to use up leftover veggies, meats, or cheeses.

Ingredients

Scale

8 large eggs
1/3 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese you love)
1/2 cup cooked bacon, sausage, or diced ham (optional)
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/4 cup chopped spinach or kale
1/4 cup chopped onion or green onion

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin well or line with silicone muffin liners.
Whisk together eggs and milk in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Fold in cheese, vegetables, and protein of your choice. Stir gently to combine.
Spoon the mixture into your muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set in the center and slightly golden on top.
Cool for 5 minutes, then gently remove from the tin. Enjoy warm or let them cool completely before refrigerating.

Notes

This recipe is meant to be flexible. Think of it more as a formula than a fixed recipe. You can scale it up, scale it down, or switch ingredients based on what you have on hand.

Egg-to-veggie balance is important. If you overload the cups with fillings, they won’t hold together as well. Stick to about 1 to 1.5 cups total of mix-ins for 8 eggs.

No milk? No problem. You can skip it entirely or sub in unsweetened non-dairy milk, half-and-half, or even a spoonful of Greek yogurt whisked into the eggs for extra creaminess.
