Breakfast Egg Muffins
Welcome to what may likely be your new go-to breakfast! Our family loves these egg muffins for a quick before school and work breakfast (we serve them with freezer friendly healthy blueberry muffins or oat flour pancakes with blueberry syrup). They are a nutritious option to start out the day, and there are countless ways you can make them by swapping in your favorite mix-in blends (see some ideas below). They also store well in the fridge and freezer making them such a tasty make-ahead side dish. In other words it’s a good time to swap out those boring granola bars for this flavorful homemade breakfast instead!

How to Store and Reheat
Egg muffins can be stored in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Keep an airtight container. Preferably thaw frozen egg muffins overnight in the fridge before reheating. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.

You can replace the ham, bell pepper, cheddar, green onions and parsley. Use up to 3 cups mix-ins of your choice or try these tasty variations:
Mexican: Substitute with poblano peppers, cooked chorizo, Monterey jack cheese, red onion, and red pepper flakes. After cooking finish with salsa. Mediterranean: Replace with grape tomatoes, feta cheese, fresh basil, spinach, red onion and roasted bell peppers. BLT: Use tomatoes, spinach, cooked bacon and Swiss cheese. Sausage & potato: Try them with cooked sausage (breakfast sausage, Italian, turkey etc), then also add some diced leftover baked potatoes and cheddar cheese.
