EGG MUFFINS
If you’re someone that can have breakfast food any time of the day, then you’re my kind of person! We are major breakfast people in this household and can have it any time of the day. One of my favorite things to whip up is a Ham and Broccoli Hash Brown Crusted Quiche. It’s filled with delicious ham, vegetables, and cheeses on a crispy hash brown crust. Making for the ultimate, filling breakfast meal. My husband gobbles it up with a side of taste (and ketchup – silly man).
So if you’re a quiche lover or a frittata fan, then this is the recipe for you! It is actually three recipes in one starting with the base egg recipe and adding in just the right amount of your favorite ingredients.
- Broccoli Ham and Cheddar
- Spinach Tomato and Goat Cheese
- Bacon Peppers and Pepper-jack Cheese
INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE THESE EGG MUFFINS

Spinach Tomato and Goat Cheese
Three ingredient recipe of spinach, tomato and goat cheese. If you’re not a fan of goat cheese, substitute with feta cheese or the cheese of your choice. This recipe, as is, tastes great with a tiny drizzle of balsamic glaze. Yum!
Broccoli Ham and Cheddar
Another 3 ingredient version. Be sure to use cooked broccoli and ham. You can swap the ham for bacon or prosciutto!
And last, but certainly not least:
Bacon Peppers and Pepper-jack Cheese
Cooked bacon, bell peppers, and pepper jack cheese. One of my favorites as I am a huge fan of pepper jack cheese and bacon together. Don’t forget to garnish with some parsley for a little extra flavor!

HOW TO MAKE THESE EGG MUFFINS:
These Make Ahead Egg Muffins come together easily and quickly! All you need is a 12-Cup Muffin Pan, a mixing bowl, and cutting board with knife. Be sure to either spray the muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray or use parchment liners to keep the egg muffins from sticking. Linked are my favorite ones to use with any baking that I do using my muffin pan. They will fall off of these muffins rather than stick – which is essential! They work splendidly to keep oil-free muffins like my Chocolate Chip Banana Yogurt Muffins from sticking.
- Add the main ingredients to the muffin pan first before pouring in the egg mixture.
- You don’t want to overflow the muffin wells, as they will rise a bit while baking. Fill each well 3/4 of the way full.
- Garnish with salt, pepper, and parsley (optional).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove and serve with salsa, greek yogurt, Sriracha, diced avocado, or your favorite breakfast condiment!
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKE AHEAD EGG MUFFINS – 3 WAYS
- Grease the pan thoroughly or use parchment liners – otherwise the egg muffins will stick.
- Don’t over-fill the wells. The eggs will rise as they bake. Fill each well 3/4 of the way full. This includes the add-ins.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You can rewarm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5-10 minutes.
- Freezing: Allow the muffins to completely cool before putting them into a freezer-safe bag or container. I find they taste the best if eaten within 1 month.
- I find that it is easier to pour the egg mixture into each well using a large glass measuring cup. Add all of the eggs to the measuring cup, whisk to thoroughly combine, and pour!
