Consider these perfectly portable egg muffins to be the equivalent of handheld omelettes. They’re high in protein and low in carbs, making them the ultimate breakfast-on-the-go. Best of all? You can customize the fillings and toppings to suit your tastes.

Not a fan of spinach? Skip it! Quite the carnivore? Stir in cooked breakfast sausage! Where’s the cheese? Add your favorite variety! This is your chance to clean out the fridge and make the most of random leftover odds and ends. (And we all know what a fan I am of leftovers!)

Once these egg muffins exit the oven, all that’s left to do is pop them from the pan into your mouth, or go the extra step and load up on toppings. I’ve opted for diced avocado and salsa. It lends a southwestern spin guaranteed to please palates of all ages.

Stay tuned for more quick and easy early morning meals and don’t forget to check out countless more healthy options for breakfast through dessert (looking at you, 5-Minute Frozen Yogurt!).

  1. These tasted delicious but the cleanup of the muffin pan was a dreaded chore. I scrubbed for 20 min! Although I sprayed them and greased them, is there a secret way to not them stick so badly? I feel like I lost 15% of the eggs just when I took them
    Out! I want to make these again so badly but coupled with the eggs sinking in the middle and not looking fluffy like yours, it’s discouraging! Please let me know what I can do next time for a more successful outcome! Thanks!

  2. I took these out and immediately the egg started going down in the middle like sinking, why and how do I prevent this next time? I love the fluffy top in the picture.

    Perfect commuter breakfast for my toddler grandson! Mornings are crazy getting kids in the car and mama off to work. I put these in muffin cups after they are cool and freeze. Mama pops them in the microwave for a few seconds and off they go. These are usually eaten in the car. The kids give them a big thumbs up. Our kids like the egg, cheese, spinach and bacon variety.

    My boyfriend made these for breakfast a few times and every time we have them, THEY ARE AMAZING. I definitely overindulge but the best part is that I don’t feel like I’m overeating at all! Great recipe!

    Delicious! My health coach shared this recipe with me and I made them this morning. I added red and yellow pepper and bacon bits. These will be great for an on-the-go breakfast!

    1. This is one of my fave on-the-go breakfast options! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, too, Brenda!
