Egg Muffins
You know how kids are with food? So picky right? They love, love, love something and eat it day and night then the next week you are all on top of it and stock up at the grocery store. In your mind you are all like “Go me!” Then that week comes and your child turns up their nose at the mention of that certain food and decides that something else is the best thing since sliced bread. Been there? I know I have.
You are stuck with that overstocked item in your fridge and you stare at it wondering what to do with it or in the pantry. At least in the pantry you can leave it and hope they come back to it!
Currently Miss K is stuck on a few things. She’s gone back to her yogurt loving tendencies. Last summer she ate so much yogurt I thought she was going to turn into yogurt and then suddenly she wanted nothing to do with it. Maybe it’s a seasonal love for her?
I’m currently out of it and I’m dreading tomorrow because I guarantee you she will be asking for it. There might be an emergency run to the grocery store which I avoid at all costs. I’m a strict one time per week shopper if at all possible. Obviously sometimes I need to frequent it more often but whenever I do that I buy way to much food and it seriously backfires!
How long do Egg Muffins last?
- Stored in the refrigerator these will last up to a week! Of course they won’t really last that long because they will most certainly be gone before that! ?
Egg Muffin Recipe
Sometimes I’m a bit of a kid myself and I tend to get stuck on specific foods. Usually it tends to be the delicious pan of bars that I just made. Not so healthy is it? Luckily for me my new obsession is these delicious Ham & Cheese Muffins. Seriously, so amazing. I love having them in the morning with my Bulletproof Coffee.
They are mind blowing. I know you’ve probably seen recipes for these around the web and I hesitated in posting them because they’ve been “done”, but I had never made them before this and I thought, if I hadn’t made them, then I’m guessing there are a few of you that haven’t made them either.
I would like to fix this terrible injustice by posting them so you can enjoy them too!

Breakfast Egg Muffins
Lately I’ve also been trying to shed the last of the baby weight and eat healthier to and these are the perfect solution. These are light and fluffy plus only about 100 calories per muffin and are loaded with protein. They fill me up and leave me satisfied. This Egg Muffin Recipe is a must in my life when eating healthier. There is nothing worse than being hungry and miserable in my eyes.
Can you eat this egg muffin recipe cold?
- Yes, you certainly can. But I make an entire batch and tuck then in the refrigerator. Then when I want one, I pop them in the microwave when I need to warm one or two up for a snack. They warm up great!
This is another food that Miss K is obsessed with right now. She loves eggs in the first place but thinks it’s so cool to eat these. I love that she can pick them up and eat them with no problem. Usually the first pan never makes it through the week and I have to make another batch half way through the week!
How do you make Breakfast Egg Muffins?
- Preheat the oven
- Spray muffin tin with non stick cooking spray
- Shred the cheese and dice the ham
- Whisk together eggs, milk and spice, stir in cheese and ham
- Pour mixture evenly into the muffins cups
- Bake for 25 minutes or until muffins are set in the middle
- Remove from the pan and store wrapped in the refrigerator
- Extras can even be frozen, to reheat just pop in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.

[…] and CHEESE EGG MUFFINS […]
Looks so yummy,,but I Can’t print ( page not found error 404).
Thank you
Hey Katheleen, I’m not having any problems printing when I push the print button inside the recipe card? I’ve tested it on multiple browsers?
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I’m probably the worlds worst cook. More of a microwave kind of girl. This morning I am at a homeless shelter and making breakfast for the residents and want to say thank you from all of us. Have a blessed day! 🙂
You’re welcome! Thank you so much for sharing, I’m glad you could make this recipe for everyone!
Can you tell me what you use to scoop the mixture out of the bowl and I to the muffin pan easiest and with you getting g a good mix of all the ingredients and not just the egg?
I just use the measuring cup I used to measure the ingredients. I try to scoop to the bottom if that make sense when I fill it up to grab the ham down there!
Quick and easy to make. I made half the recipe as there is only 2 of us in the house. Wish I made a whole batch as I only have 1 leftover. I did add tarragon as we like herbs in our egg recipes. I used the same amount of pepper and herbs. The eggs were light and fluffy on the inside and a little browned on the outside. Definitely a recipe that can be tweaked to your liking. Thank you for this keeper recipe.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed them, they are so handy for grab and go breakfast!
What if I don’t wanna make 12 eggs?
You can cut the recipe in half.
I add some very finely chopped broccoli flower and some cauliflower head very finely chopped in the food processor great way to get an extra couple of veg into master 5 who wants them every day for recess at school about 1/4 c combined not a lot but a little I also use precooked bacon as I personally don’t like ham.
That’s a great way to sneak in some veggies!
can I use bacon in place of the ham ?
Yes you could but you might want to cook the bacon a little before adding it to the muffins or use bacon bits instead.
Can you bake them in cupcake papers
I haven’t tried it but I’m sure it would work!
In the muffins cheese, ham and milk is 1/4 c. whit is the c meaning,, thank you,
c. stands for cup
would love a print option! These are delicious!
There should be an option to print the recipe in the recipe box. If you can’t see it let me know because there’s a problem 🙂
These look great, if you freeze them do you defrost them before heating or can they be reheated straight from the freezer in a rush…?
Wrap it in a paper towel and microwave for 1-2 minutes straight from the freezer!
So easy and delicious! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed them!
