Egg Muffins Recipe

Say goodbye to morning struggles with easy to make, easy to customize Baked Egg Muffin Cups! Let’s face it, mornings with kids are hectic. It’s hard to get your kids to eat a healthy, filling breakfast while you’re urging them to get dressed, brush their teeth, brush their hair, finish their homework, feed the dog, and the list goes on and on. These delicious Egg Muffins are about to change all of that.

How to Make Baked Egg Muffins Cups

Each muffin, before customizing, is just 50 calories each!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spray a 12-count muffin pan generously with nonstick cooking spray. If you have them, silicone baking cups are perfect for egg muffins.
  3. Whisk together eggs, milk and salt and pepper. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ of the way full.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes or until eggs are fully cooked. If you insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin it should come out clean, and the eggs should start to pull away from the sides.

Customize Your Egg Muffins

The best thing about baked egg muffins is how easy they are to customize. You can prep the eggs, then decide on the mix-ins, even making them different for every member of your family depending on their personal tastes.

Here are some of our favorites:

  • Diced Canadian bacon and shredded cheddar. (pictured)
  • Denver Omelette style (diced ham, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers and cheese).
  • Spinach, tomato and Mozzarella (pictured)
  • Veggie (pictured)
  • Meat lover’s (bacon, ham and sausage)

Keep in mind that the short baking time will not cook the vegetables or the meat. Saute vegetables in olive oil on the stove for several minutes or until soft and cook meats fully.

How to Store Egg Muffins

Keep your Baked Egg Muffins in the fridge for 3-4 days, layered in a sealed, airtight container. To freeze, wrap each egg muffin individually in wax paper and place in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 months.

How Do You Reheat Egg muffins?

Remove the egg muffin from the fridge or freezer, wrap with a paper towel, then microwave at 50%. For refrigerated muffins, microwave for about 1 minute; for frozen, about 2 minutes. Keep in mind that times will vary based on the wattage of your microwave.

    1. Sure, you would need to probably cut the bake time in half. I haven’t tried them in a mini muffin pan, so watch closely to know when they’re done.

  1. I am making these for a gender reveal breakfast. Can I reheat them together (for a group) in the oven? If so what temp? How long and should they just go on a cookie sheet? Help!

    1. You can reheat in the oven, but do it at a lower temperature and just until warm. Should be fine on either a cookie sheet or muffin tin.

  2. Made these for my middle school daughter who is always in a hurry in the early am for school! She loves them! I love you can change them up anyway you want!

  3. Made these for my weekly breakfast. I’m on a weight-gain diet, so lots of calories and protein in mine.

  4. This is such a great idea! My husband has a sensitivity to dairy. Do you know if this would work using almond milk?
