Easy Egg Breakfast Muffins
Most weeks I make a batch of these muffins.
Like most, I am always busy and looking for quick easy recipes to make for the family that they will eat and have some nutritional benefit.
I love these muffins as every week they taste different depending on what I have in the fridge. Great way to use up any vegetables that may have otherwise ended up in the bin.
I have found that although they can freeze, they tend to go very moist if you do. They will last a week in the fridge. Nicest are straight from the oven.
Work for breakfast, snacks or lunch served with a large green salad.
Tips.
Some people do not pre-cook the vegetables, but I find by frying them off makes them hold together better.
Add different things based on your taste. I love blue cheese and goat’s cheese in these. Mushrooms work well as does tomato and capsicum. Adding different vegetables or herbs totally changes the taste.
Let me know what versions you come up with.
