Tag Archives: egg breakfast muffin

Mornings are hard and sometimes making good choices in the morning are even harder. I am lucky enough to have a husband who makes sure that I have a healthy breakfast every morning, but he rarely extends that courtesy to himself. I wanted to do something for him, but I well understand my limits so I knew this would have to be strategic. I’ve seen lots of people making “egg cups” online, and it seemed like a good place to start. So this past Sunday I read a bunch of recipes on Pinterest and decided to give it a shot.

Ingredients:

• 7 eggs
• 1/8 cup of milk
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 1/2 cups mushrooms
• 1/4-1/2 cup of cheese (I used goat cheese, but you can use whatever)
• Salt & pepper to taste.
  *I also through in some garlic and a little Mrs. Dash seasoning 😉

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease the muffin tin.
2. Slice mushrooms and chop spinach.
3. In a large mixing bowl, scramble the eggs and then mix in the eggs, salt, and pepper.
4. Stir in the veggies and divide the mixture between the muffin cups.
5. Sprinkle in the cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes.
6. Allow to cool and then you’re good to go.
7. You can store the extra in the fridge for up to a week,

Notes:

• To make sure that I was getting a less biased reaction, I took a couple to my friend Cassie; both she and Andy really liked them. 10 out of 10, would try again. I, on the other hand, have a weird texture thing with eggs, and they were just a bit…squidgy for me.
• I think these would work with so many other mix-ins; Andy and I have already talked about some other variations we’d like to try. One of my friends is thinking of trying a super protein packed option for her husband.
