Spicy Breakfast Egg Muffins
Breakfast egg muffins are by far my favorite! They are so easy to make and reheat. You never have to get tired of them because you can change them up every single time you make them. And these are a perfect low carb high protein way to start your day! I mentioned in other posts that I am not a morning person. These breakfast egg muffins are a perfect on the go meal which means I can stay in bed as long as possible.
P.S. How could I not mention this new mug?? I’ve been drinking a bunch of tea lately and decided it was time to upgrade my cup. This is from Ree Drummond’s (Pioneer Woman) collection and it was love at first sight!! Really, we all know Ree can do no wrong!
The best part about these of course are that they are quickly and easily made! I decided on a spicy version of these breakfast egg muffins for this post. I love all things spicy! You can choose any combination you’d like! Bacon and mushroom? Yup! Ham and swiss? Yup! Meatless? If you must. :)
After you get your ingredients together, it’s simple to put these together. Start with your eggs. Crack them into a bowl big enough to hold all of your ingredients then whisk them. I recommend giving them a really good whisk. At least two minutes. Add in the rest of your ingredients and stir it all together. * Note: I waited to put my spinach in last. This is just a preference. I like to make sure all of the seasoning gets mixed in and the large amount of spinach can hinder being able to see everything else. Once everything is mixed together, spoon the mixture evenly into a buttered muffin tin. I fill mine with a 1/3 cup and they fill almost full. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Easy, right? You can keep these in the fridge or freezer. 45 seconds in the microwave if fridge and 1 minute 30 seconds if the freezer.
