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.
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!
