Eggs are such a staple in my house we all just love them. When we’re down to the bare essentials from that week’s weekly shop I know that as long as we’ve got eggs on standby we will be fine. They are just so versatile and work great with practically anything.
One of my favourite things to make with eggs are egg muffins. If you’re new to the egg muffin revolution then they’re basically portable omelets baked in a muffin tin that can easily be eaten on the go. It takes very little ingredients to make them taste great I think the less complicated you make them the better they taste.
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsps milk (I used almond milk)
- 2 tbsp dried mixed herbs
- 1 red pepper
- 1/2 cup spinach
- Melted coconut oil to grease the muffin tin
- 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
-
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and brush some melted coconut oil around the muffin tin holes to grease them.
-
Prepare the red pepper and cut it into small diced pieces
-
Lay the red pepper and spinach in the bottom of the muffin tray.
-
In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and dried mixed herbs.
-
Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tray and sprinkle over the grated cheese.
-
Cook in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the eggs have set.
-
Serve and enjoy!
Store in the fridge in an airtight container and they can also be frozen too.
These make the perfect on the go breakfast if you’re in a rush and a great easy lunch that can be served with salad and a baked sweet potato or whatever your heart desires. I like to eat mine slightly warm, but they are equally delicious cold too.
You can whip up a batch of these on Sunday for a quick breakfast idea for the busy working week. Eggs are packed full of healthy protein and nutrients, so they are a fantastic start to any day even for children too. Kingswood have teamed up with Happy Egg Co to help local schools prepare for their next educational trip, which provide invaluable learning experiences for young people, by collecting the tokens that can be found on the egg boxes and entering them into the Trips for Schools website.
Eggs always make it into my shopping basket, they’re such an all-around winning ingredient for me. There was a time when I used to be scared of them because of all the hysteria surrounding the fat in the yolk, but thankfully I now champion the addition of healthy fats in my everyday life and have seen the tremendous health benefits because of it.
What is your favourite egg-based recipe? Do you have a go-to portable breakfast?

I love making these for my kids! Will try yours out 🙂 x
They’re perfect for the little ones, so easy to make too. 🙂
what a little delicious snack idea, great anytime of the day. Making this afternoon as working from home. R
I hope you like them! 🙂
I adore eggs too. Other than eggs and soldiers, which I eat most often, I think frittata is my favourite!
I love frittatas too, so many different variations that you can make.
A lovely recipe Jemma, I do like a protein rich breakfast, it really suits my metabolism and stops me snacking in the middle of the morning
Thanks Helen! I think starting with a healthy breakfast can really set you up for the day.
These look so cute! I dont eat eggs but can certainly see me whipping something similar up that is vegan using tofu!
Thank you! I bet the tofu idea would work really well Lucie.
Lovely tasty little snack!
Thanks Anna, they are great for something different to snack on instead of an energy bar.
Yum! My husband loves eggs so I bet I could make these the night before and then he could just heat them up for breakfast!
Thanks Liz! I love them because you can make a big batch up and keep them in the fridge or freezer for a later date.
Love these gorgeous little muffins and perfect for kids too:-)
Thank you! They are definitely a winner with the kids and make great lunch box fillers too.
Im so bad about not eating breakfast but I think I could make these ahead of time and have them for breakfast!
That’s such a great idea Leslie. They store really well in the fridge and freezer, so you will all stocked up with healthy breakfasts.
How random – I went to Kingswood on a school trip when I was 11 🙂
We love egg muffins too, as they are such an easy snack to have in the fridge.
I love eggs and vegetables together! I do not really eat baked eggs but this looks so doable.
These egg muffins look absolutely delicious, I have never made any before nor have I ever eaten one but now I want one. Sound like a great on the go breakfast for busy bodies
