Found on a box of stuffing mix
Makes 6
Prep 25 minutes
Cook 30 minutes
Total time 60 minutes

Ingredients
1 box stuffing mix prepared according to directions
12 slices raw bacon
6 eggs
1/2 c shredded cheese
Fresh cracked pepper
2 T fresh parsley for garnish

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare 6 cup muffin tin with baking spray.
Wrap bacon around the sides of the muffin cups. Bacon should be touching the sides of the cup.
Using prepared stuffing, press stuffing up against the bacon and the bottom of the muffin pan. Press stuffing firmly to get a thin layer. Place muffin tin in oven and bake for 20 minutes to cook and toast bacon.

When bacon and stuffing are cooked to your desired doneness., remove pan and crack one egg into each cup. Top with cracked pepper and cheese. Return to oven and bake for the desired doneness: runny egg centers 6 to 8 minutes, firmer egg centers 10 to 12 minutes. Serve.

Whether you’re on a low carb or Keto diet, or you need something quick to grab while running out of the door, Breakfast Egg Muffins are a delicious healthy saviour and PERFECT for Meal Prep! Although eggs are a preferred and versatile breakfast food, not many of us have the time to whip up a Caprese frittata, a steaming pan of Shakshuka, or poached eggs on toast and omelettes in the morning.

That’s where these protein packed eggs muffins come in! Just like mini frittatas, can be cooked ahead of time and refrigerated for when you need them to grab and go!

garlic mushroom & peppers
Like one of my favourite frittata at our family breakfast bistro, this one tops them all. Red peppers (or capsicum), with garlic and mushroom would have to be one of the best!

frittata in a muffin tin!
You can either spray a 12-capacity NON-STICK muffin tray with a light coating of non-stick oil spray, or line each cup with paper liners. Personally I prefer spraying them because I’m, not a huge fan to paper sticking to my frittatas. If you’re going to line them, be sure to get good quality non-stick liners (the same texture as parchment or baking paper).

We love serving our egg muffins with diced avocado and chopped tomatoes on the side for added nutrition and good fats.

Even though they don’t have any flour or baking powder and are completely gluten free, they are so fluffy when you bite into them!

tips and tricks for making perfect egg muffins
Grease your muffin tin properly and use a good quality non stick muffin tray. If in doubt, use parchment paper or cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
The muffins puff up while they cook in the oven. Fill them 3/4 of the way up to prevent overflow.
Let your muffins cool for about 10 minutes before attempting to remove them. Run a plastic knife or spatula around the inside walls of the muffin holes to help loosen them if needed.

how do you store egg muffins?
Pack them into airtight containers and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make a batch in advance and then heat them up in the microwave (usually 10-15 seconds in enough) when ready to eat!

how to freeze breakfast egg muffins
Let the egg muffins cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap and pop them in a freezer-safe zip-lock bag. They will last for up to 2 months.

To reheat, unwrap from the plastic wrap and fold them in a damp paper towel. Heat in the microwave in 20 second increments until warmed through.

Breakfast ready in no time!
