Egg muffins are the ultimate make-ahead breakfast, perfect for busy mornings when you need something quick, nutritious, and delicious. These bite-sized, savory muffins are made with whisked eggs and a variety of tasty fillings, like vegetables, cheese, and cooked meats. Whether you prefer a classic combination of spinach and cheese or a meatier version with bacon and sausage, egg muffins can be customized to suit your tastes and dietary preferences.
The beauty of egg muffins lies in their versatility. You can use whatever ingredients you have on hand, from diced bell peppers and onions to sautéed mushrooms and fresh herbs. The eggs bind everything together, creating a fluffy, satisfying muffin that’s packed with protein and flavor. You can also make them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator or freezer for a quick breakfast throughout the week. Just reheat them in the microwave, and you have a warm, satisfying meal in seconds.
Egg muffins are not only delicious but also a great way to get in some vegetables or lean proteins first thing in the morning. They’re perfect for meal prep, as you can bake a batch on the weekend and enjoy them all week long. With their small size and portability, they’re also great for a snack or lunch on the go. Pair them with a side of fruit or a slice of whole-grain toast for a complete and balanced meal.
What makes egg muffins even more appealing is how easy they are to make. All you need is a muffin tin, some eggs, and your choice of fillings. After mixing everything together, simply pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups and bake until golden. In under 30 minutes, you’ll have a batch of delicious, nutritious muffins ready to enjoy.

I followed the recipe but mine turned out really soggy. Maybe I added too much spinach? Not sure. 2 stars.
I think the spinach might be the problem, it can hold a lot of water. Did you squeeze it out first? Just a tip!
Eh, they were alright. I was expecting more flavor, I guess. Not great, not terrible. 3.
Eggs and muffins? Sounds weird! But actually really good! I’d make again. 4/5
I don’t have a muffin tin, can I just make it in a baking dish? Asking for a friend…3 stars.
Super easy and nice for breakfast. I didn’t have cheese so I left it out, still tasty! 4 stars!
These egg muffins are a game changer! I added some sausage and they were incredible! 5 stars!
Eh, I don’t really like eggs that much. But these muffins filled me up! My mom liked them.
Glad to hear your mom liked them! Who knew muffins could be so filling? 🍽️
Eggs are kinda gross tho. How do you even eat that? 🤢
These were a bit too eggy for my liking. I think I prefer my muffins sweet, not savory.
Super easy and quick! Perfect for busy mornings. I even prepped them the night before. Love it!
Tastyyyyy! 😋 I’m gonna make these again this weekend! Thanks for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed them! They’re super easy to make. What other veggies do you like to add?
I don’t know, they sound kinda weird. Eggs in a muffin? Hmm…
I didn’t have any spinach so I used kale, still turned out great! Love the cheese in it.
These egg muffins are fantastic! I made them for breakfast and my whole family loved them. Will definitely make again!
3/4 full is too much! They overflowed in my oven. Lesson learned. Still tasted good tho.
I used egg whites instead. The texture was weird, but taste was ok. Next time I’ll stick to whole eggs.
Very easy recipe, but I think they could use some spices or maybe some sausage in them. Just a bit bland for my taste.
I totally agree! Adding sausage or some herbs would really elevate the flavor. Maybe some Italian seasoning? Yum!
But I think it’s fine as it is. Sometimes simple is better! More spices might cover the egg flavor.
I don’t understand how these can be good. Muffins without flour don’t sound right to me. Is it even a muffin?
Actually, these are more like savory egg cups rather than traditional muffins. They’re tasty and healthy! Give them a try!
Easy peasy. I mixed in some diced tomatoes, turned out nice. My kids ate them all!
My kids loved these! Perfect for breakfast on the go. Will definitely make again.
I don’t know, my kids wouldn’t eat them. Maybe they’re just picky? 🤷♀️
I tried these too and my kids liked them! Super easy to make! 🥚👍
I tried making these but they came out too dry. I think I used too many veggies. I’d suggest sticking to the recipe.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll make sure not to overload on the veggies next time. That can really change the texture. Glad you shared this!
I left out the onions ’cause I don’t like em. They still came out good. Simple and nice!
Onions do make a difference, but glad yours turned out well! Maybe I’ll try it without them too.
Best recipe 4 breakfast ever! Love egg muffins. I can’t stop eating them. 💖
Wow, eggs in muffin pans? Mind blown. 😂
So simple and yummy! My kids loved them and I felt good knowing they were eating healthy. Thanks for sharing!
Is this just scrambled eggs in a muffin tin? I don’t get the hype. Pretty boring if you ask me.
Egg muffins? More like egg bricks! Didn’t rise at all. I don’t know what I did wrong but they were so dense.
Can u make these with egg whites only? Im on a diet and need low cal stuff. Pls let me know!
The flavor was okay but I burnt the bottom. Need to work on my oven timing…
You should try a timer! But hey, at least you didn’t burn the whole thing, right?
Don’t worry, it happens! Just keep an eye on the oven next time. Those muffins still sound tasty.
Recipe sounds good and all but what about calories? Like, how many am I eating? Gotta watch my intake guys!
Eggs are bad for you, shouldnt eat too much of these. Heart problems!
easy! 10 outta 10 would recommend!
Totally agree! These are super simple and great for meal prep! 😊
I don’t know, my eggs turned out kinda rubbery. Maybe I did it wrong? 🤔
I was skeptical about how good these would be, but wow! So fluffy!
These egg muffins are a game changer for breakfast! Super easy and tasty. Will definitely make again.
Why do you need 6 eggs? That seems like a lot! I used 2 and it was just fine. 😂
I think 6 eggs make a fluffier muffin! I guess it depends on how eggy you like it. 🥚
I don’t know man, 6 eggs feels right for a good breakfast! You can’t skimp on eggs. 🙄
These were amazing! So fluffy and full of flavor. I added some bacon bits for an extra kick. Definitely making these again!
Great recipe! I substituted kale for spinach, and it still tasted amazing.
Kale is a great swap! I’ve done the same and loved it. Adds a nice crunch!
I don’t know why they call them muffins… they’re just eggs in cups. Not impressed.
I actually love them! They’re a great grab-and-go breakfast option. ❤️
But that’s kinda the point, right? Muffins are made in muffin tins. 😂 Why not just call them egg cups?
Yummmm! Can’t believe how good these turned out! I added some hot sauce on top, and oh boy, so good!
These were super easy to make and so good! I added some sausage to mine. Yum!
Wow, adding sausage sounds delicious! I’ll have to try that next time. Did you use breakfast sausage?
Super easy? I dunno, seems like a lot of steps for muffins. Can’t I just scramble the eggs?
Eggs and veggies? Sounds healthy, but too healthy for me. I’m gonna add more cheese next time.
I followed the recipe and left them in for longer, but they just burned. Really disappointing. Never again!
I’m sorry to hear that! Maybe try checking your oven’s temperature with a thermometer. Sometimes they don’t heat as expected!
Sooo yummy!! My kids gobbled them up! I added some bacon bits for extra flavor. 😋
These are amazing! They puff up so nicely and are perfect for breakfast on the go. Will definitely make again!
I tried this recipe but it didn’t taste like much. Maybe I needed more spices? Also, cooking time seemed off, they were still a bit runny.
Yummy!! I added some bacon bits and it was amazing!
These egg muffins are a game changer! Super easy to make and perfect for breakfast on the go. I added some sausage and they were delicious!
Sounds good and all, but how do you know if it’s really game changing? Must be opinions!
I tried it without sausage and it was still great! Love how customizable this recipe is.
Why do folks care so much about making egg muffins? Just fry an egg, simpler.
Egg muffins? More like egg rubber! 😤 I followed the instructions exactly but they came out weird.
Egg rubber? Come on, you just gotta try again! Maybe add more cheese or stuff to make it yummier!
I’m sorry to hear that! Sometimes oven temps can be off, have you checked yours? They might need a little less time.
Why do we need spinach in everything? Just tastes like grass! 😒 Sorry, not for me.
I followed the recipe but my muffins came out all soggy. What did I do wrong?
Sounds like you might have added too much liquid or didn’t bake them long enough. Make sure to check if the eggs are fully set before taking them out. Good luck next time!
I found the recipe a bit basic. They tasted alright, but I expected more. Maybe add some spices or a different cheese next time.
Came out great! But what’s the point of spinach? Can’t even taste it.
