This is me when I want eggs but can’t decide what to put in them. Breakfast Egg Muffins 6 Ways. These mini-frittatas are a low-carb, make-ahead breakfast that you can throw in the freezer for months. Great for all those rushed mornings
Jump to RecipeNow I say breakfast and mornings up there, but I actually had these cups for dinner. I’m a huge proponent of breakfast-for-dinner recipes, especially when it involves eggs. And even more when they’re so customizable.
You can really go all out with the fillings here, and they’re probably still going to be just as healthy. So long as you don’t fill up that entire cup with just cheese that is.
Outside of being healthy, they’re good for portion control, meal-prep, and maintaining variety in your meals too.
If you have a large # of cups muffin-tin or multiple smaller ones, I’d recommend making dozens of them at a time with different filling combinations.
Just be sure to label each kind though. You’re going to be grateful for that.

I’ve tried the veggies only, broccoli cheddar and cheesy jalapeno ones so far and all of them exceeded my expectations! Gave one to my roommate and he literally asked me for the recipe saying he was gonna make some for his work buddies!!!
I love all those variations you picked; Cheese and spice are my go-to as well. And super thrilled not only that you liked them, but got the word around about these egg muffins too!
