Breakfast Egg Muffins

October 30, 2010 By 9 Comments

This is a quick and easy recipe for egg muffins (not a thing like Egg McMuffins!). These are portable and packed with protein.

DSCN1550 Breakfast Egg Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 12 pieces of nitrate free bacon
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup cheese (optional)

Directions:

  2. Line each cup of the muffin tin with a piece of bacon.
  3. Put chopped onion and pepper in the bottom of the muffin cups.
  4. Pour egg mixture into the cups.
  5. Bake about 30 minutes (ovens vary) until eggs are set. Top with cheese (optional)
  6. Can be wrapped in foil and easily reheated on-the-go.

Served 12 (or 6 if your kids eat like mine!)

    Ah this looks like such a wonderful idea! I miss the portability of a biscuit and sometimes I just make egg and sausage biscuits for breakfast. I’ll bet I wouldn’t even miss the biscuit with these! Great idea! :)

    mmm… I’ll have to make these once I get some more bacon – actually that’ll be tonight! These will be great – now maybe I’ll actually get to eat breakfast in the mornings!

    Thank you for the recipe.  Made this this morning and it was de-lish!  I just found your site and I’m enjoying it.  What is the “meals” tab at the top?  When I click the button, it directs me to log in, and I couldn’t find any explanation of what it was or why I needed to log in.

    It’s actually a subscription service for nutrition clients, but I’m planning to open it up to the blog soon… I”ll keep you posted!

    do you think this would work as well with turkey bacon, which doesn’t seem to be as pliable or greasy as pork bacon??

    I haven’t tried it, but I’d think you’d need to oil the muffin tins first to keep it from sticking. Let me know how it turns out if you try it!
