Eggs are a great start to your day. These Breakfast Egg Muffins include nutritious ingredients that also wake up your tastebuds first thing in the morning.
They are portable, which makes them great when you need to get out the house early, but still have breakfast. They keep for a few days in the fridge and taste even better the next day and can be easily reheated.
Recipe Tips
Use Omega-3 enriched eggs to increase the nutritional value of this recipe because every extra nutritional value helps.
Test the egg is fresh by putting it in a bowl of water. If it lays on its side on the bottom, it is fresh and if it stands upright on the bottom, it is ok, but needs to be eaten as soon as possible. However, if it floats to the top then do not eat it.
How do you stop egg muffins sticking?
Spraying oil on the muffin tin before pouring the egg mixture in may help to stop the muffins sticking.
Also, you could use muffin cases. These help you easily pop them out when they come out of the oven..
How long are egg muffins good in the fridge?
Cool the Breakfast Egg Muffins and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. To reheat, put the muffins in a microwave for a minute, or on a baking sheet in the oven (about Gas Mark 5/200C) for about 15 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
Can you store them in the freezer?
Yes. Let them cool and then put them in individual freezer bags and then in a larger bag (so they don’t stick together). Defrost overnight in the fridge. They can be eaten cold, once defrosted or reheated, as above. The flavours taste even better the next day.
