I learned about this super-simple snack recipe from a friend. He and his wife have been making these delicious egg muffins — he calls them “Egg Pucks” (#HockeyDad) — and their kids love them!
Last night I finally made some and they did not disappoint! I made three variations and brought them to work this morning to share with my coworkers.
The loaded egg muffins were the first to go — they had all the good stuff: red and yellow pepper, yellow onion and mushrooms. I made a few turkey bacon, egg and cheese ones, and then made two without cheese as a dairy-free option.
Egg Muffins
Prep: 10–30 minutes (depending on additional ingredients)
Bake: 12–15 minutes per batch
Oven: 400 degrees
Makes: 12 egg muffins
Bakeware: muffin tin
Base ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 12 ounces of turkey bacon
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- olive oil
- sea salt
- black pepper
Optional ingredients
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper
- 1/2 cup sautéed diced yellow onion
- 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms
Directions
1. Use a little olive oil in your muffin tin so the eggs don’t stick to the sides. You could use a silicone basting brush to make sure the muffin compartments are coated completely.
2. Cut strips of turkey bacon in half and use two pieces to make an X in each cup of the muffin tin. I used turkey bacon from ALDI.
3. Crack one egg on top of each X and then poke the yolk with a fork to lightly scramble the egg.
4. Add a little sea salt and black pepper.
5. Sprinkle onions, peppers and mushrooms on each egg.
6. Top with some shredded mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake in 400 degrees oven for 12–15 minutes.
8. Cool for 5 minutes before removing the egg muffins from the tin. Enjoy!
Allow leftovers to cool and then refrigerate them.
Easy morning snack
I’m looking forward to having these available as a super-quick morning snack for my kiddos (ages 6, 3 and 3).
To reheat the egg muffins, simply microwave for one minute (in two 30-second bursts). That’s it!
