Easy and Quick Breakfast Idea

Let me preface this post by saying that I am entirely aware that I am lucky that I work from home and have the ability to cook breakfast most days of the week. However, I must also admit that I am not a morning person. So waking up with enough time to devote to cooking before having to get the kids ready for distance learning and then starting work myself is not usually my strong suit.

These Tomato and Spinach Egg Muffins are the perfect healthy and delicious breakfast on the go. They only take about 15 minutes to make from start to finish. Even better, they can be made in advance if you are a fan of meal prep. No more having to choose between eating breakfast or brushing your hair as you rush out the door.

Oven Baked Egg Muffins

We are huge fans of eggs at my house. They are one of the protein sources that everyone in my household loves. Plus you just can’t beat eggs-for-dinner themed nights when you are short on time or short on patience.

If you are concerned with the headline that seems to pop up every year, read this Are Eggs Bad for You (again) post about our stance on these bright beauties.

This recipe is a time saver because a dozen egg muffins are all made at the same time. In a single pan. In the oven. Leaving you less dishes, less things cooking on the stove and less time having to actually “cook” over an open flame. This makes them great to bake in advance and then just heat up quickly in the morning for breakfast.

This Egg Muffin recipe is completely customizable, so feel free to add veggies and toppings you like if spinach or tomatoes aren’t your thing. Finely chopped asparagus, mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, or even sausage would be great flavors to add.
