Egg Muffins: A Go-To Recipe For Everyone!

Let's be honest for a second. Whether you're a stay-at-home mom, a college student, full-time employee, or retired, there is always a need for a quick and easy breakfast that will fill you up. Am I right?? 

I found myself needing something other than cereal because I wasn't staying "full" long enough to make it to lunch without having that feeling of my stomach eating itself. (Tell me I'm not alone here!)

Being new to Pinterest (yes, I've finally fallen for the trap and I love it), I've mainly been looking at all of the food and drink ideas. One picture specifically struck my interest: Egg Muffins! Quick. Easy. Make-ahead. It was music to my ears! However, when I clicked on the link, that annoying message popped up: page not found. Go figure. To the test kitchen I went!

All I did was convert an omelet into a muffin, and who doesn't like an omelet? Mmmm! To make 12 muffins I mixed together 6 eggs, salt & pepper, a few dashes of tabasco sauce, 1/3 cup milk. Then, I added in chopped, steamed broccoli, spinach leaves, fresh tomato chunks, and shredded cheese. (I had white cheddar, but any kind that you want to add is great!) I equally distributed them between 12 muffin cups and baked it for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. This is what they looked like right when they came out:

 Doesn't that look amazing? They were SO fluffy - just like a souffle! Then, they sat for a little bit and, of course, deflated (oh well)! They still looked great and tasted even better! After they cooled (and we ate a few :) ) I put the remainder in an air-tight container and kept them in the fridge for easy re-heating on a busy morning!

So, if you find yourself in a time crunch, don't forget about breakfast! After all it is the most important meal of the day! :)

Happy eating,
