Egg Muffins

These healthy veggie egg muffins are the perfect breakfast or snack, plus freezer and kid-friendly. Add any of your favorite veggies or try this combo of spinach, feta, tomatoes, and extra egg whites for high protein.

Prep: 15min

Total: 40min

Yield: 12

Serving Size: 1 muffin

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 muffin, calories 70 kcal, Carbohydrate 3 g, Protein 8 g, Fat 3 g, Saturated Fat 1 g, Cholesterol 96 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 2 g

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup lightly packed baby spinach (chopped)
  • 3/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper (about 1 small pepper)
  • 3/4 cup finely diced green bell pepper (about 1 small pepper)
  • 3/4 cup quartered cherry tomatoes ( or grape tomatoes, about 1 cup whole tomatoes)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch ground black pepper (or cayenne pepper if you like a little kick!)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (plus additional to sprinkle on top)
  • Optional toppings: avocado (salsa, hot sauce, freshly chopped parsley)

Instruction:

  1. Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Divide the spinach, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and tomatoes among the cups (they will be about two-thirds of the way full).
  2. In a large bowl or large measuring cup with a spout (my favorite because it makes the mixture easy to pour), briskly whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, basil, oregano, and pepper until well combined. Carefully fill each muffin cup three-quarters of the way to the top with the egg mixture. Sprinkle the feta evenly over the tops of the cups.
  3. Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until the egg muffins are set. Let cool for a few minutes, and then run a butter knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen it. Remove them from the pan and enjoy immediately, or let cool on a wire rack and refrigerate or freeze for later (see notes for more details).

FAQ

Why are my egg muffins soggy?

Why are my egg muffins soggy? Adding wet ingredients like tomatoes or onions can create too much moisture in the egg and make them soggy. Cooking the add-ins first is a good way to prevent unwanted moisture.

How long will egg muffins last in the fridge?

Storage Tips

Let the muffins cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can store all of the muffins together in a single larger container or portion them into individual containers to take with you on the go.

What is the best muffin pan to make eggs?

Stick With Silicone

Silicone muffin pans come in all types of shapes and sizes, and different numbers of cups as well. This will be the most hassle-free option if you’re planning on making a bunch of batches of egg muffins.

Can you reheat egg muffins?

To reheat egg muffins, simply microwave them for about 30-60 seconds or so from the fridge. If they’re frozen, they’ll need a bit longer, about 60-90 seconds.
