Breakfast Egg Muffins

Little egg muffin, mini frittata - whatever you call them, they make the perfect teeny snack. Think breakfast on the go, kids' lunchboxes, and snacks for work. They're adaptable, so add in the things you love or the things that need using in the fridge.

All cheeses work, herbs add freshness, and you can add some chopped vegetables, even cooked leftover potatoes, pumpkin, or grilled capsicums. Add a little chopped ham, bacon, or cooked sliced sausage.

They are quick to make and last for about 3 days in the fridge. You can eat them cold or reheat them in the oven or sandwich press (just don't squash them!).

Did tomato, feta, bacon bits and a sprinkle of basil on top
Like the suggestions said, I used the ingredients that I already had at home. These egg muffins contain bacon, feta, spring onion, tomatoes, capsicum and mushroom, plus thyme and oregano from the garden. Easy to follow recipe and great that it’s so versatile.

Great recipe inspiration for my weekly meal prep, as I always forget to prep some snacks. I used capsicum and zucchini as veg and cheddar in place of feta and the flavours were great. The mix was just slightly too wet (maybe because of the zucchini?) and took longer to cook through in the oven. As I cooked a bigger batch I used two different muffin tins - ceramic worked great, but the egg mix stuck to the silicone muffin form like crazy, despite oiling generously. Don’t make my mistakes ;) no silicone for these ones!

These are super easy to make and a great way to get eggs in a quick snack. I loved being able to use up herbs from my fridge too. I found the texture of these to be a little soggy, I will experiment by adding some flour next time to reduce this. Overall they’re a great snack to have and easy to make.

Super easy breakfast muffins to make! I added some sun-dried tomatoes with a bit of the oil and they really elevated the flavour. Also made a big batch for those lazy days!

These were absolutely delicious! I used salami, tasty cheese, parsley and feta! Reduced serving size to just use two eggs

This recipe needed more seasoning. I usually liberally season eggs but could have used more. I used 2 different types of feta separated across the 12. The very soft feta worked better from a flavour perspective but these ones were a little watery compared to the firm feta ones. I also added jalapeños to 6 for me. Great protein packed snack or lunch with a salad.

So my presentation could do with a bit (a lot) of work but the feta and tomato in these slaps! Would highly recommend getting a good non-stick muffin tray and getting the egg ratio spot on to avoid the mess I made!!

These were great. I subbed capsicum for cherry tomatoes because they were in the fridge, but otherwise cooked per the recipe. I can see this being a go-to recipe for easy dinners with salad (tonight’s plan) or a snack on the go.
