Breakfast Egg Muffins

These delicious breakfast muffins are actually made more from a technique and personal preference of fillings than they are from a recipe.

Start by liberally buttering the muffin cups of your muffin tin.

Next add filling ingredients.  Some choices may include cooked bacon, ham, cooked crumbled sausage, diced onion (green, white or red), chopped bell peppers (green, red, yellow, or orange), chopped broccoli, chopped spinach*, fresh thyme, fresh or dried dill, fresh or dried tarragon, grated cheese (all kinds like cheddar, swiss, jack, smoked gouda, goat or whatever your favorite cheese is).  The possibilities are endless.

* (When you add spinach or other vegetables be aware that they will create moisture as they cook.  Go easy on the veggies as you do not want to end up with a “watery” muffin.)

The last addition is the egg.  If you are using a muffin tin with average sized muffins you should plan that you will need 1 egg per muffin cup.  Obviously, if you are using a large cup muffin tin or a small cup , the amount of egg you need will vary accordingly.  Beat the eggs as you would for scrambled eggs adding salt and pepper to taste.  Pour beaten egg into muffin cups,  leaving a little space at the top to allow for these to expand as they bake.

Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes.  Muffins will firm up more as they cool.  Eat right away or allow to cool completely and refrigerate.  Heat in a 375 degree oven for about 5 minutes when ready to eat.  These can be frozen.  Allow to thaw before reheating.

No matter how crazy your morning is, now you can tell your family “Breakfast is served!” 🙂
