A few weeks ago, when I shared my recipe for a chicken sausage and spinach frittata, I mentioned egg muffins on the blog and promised to share my go-to recipe with you guys soon. Well, the time is here and I hope this is a recipe that will appeal to a bunch of you because you are essentially in control of it!
If you’re anything like me, you often tweak the recipes you find online and in cookbooks to suit your personal preferences. This egg muffin recipe actually encourages you to get creative and play around with various ingredients until you find the perfect combination for you and your family. You choose what kind of breakfast meat you’d like to include, you choose the veggies you want to throw into the mix and you select your favorite kind of cheese to add to create an egg muffin that appeals to you!
These egg muffins are a great way to use up leftover vegetables that may be on their last leg in the fridge. I also love baking a batch of these muffins on a Sunday afternoon so I have a healthy breakfast option I can easily grab right out of the fridge on busier mornings. I’ve used this recipe as a base for a bunch of different flavor combinations and have yet to be disappointed!
