Egg Bake Muffins

Looking for a meal prep breakfast option that can be at the ready for your grab-and-go convenience all week long? Try egg bake muffins, individually portioned egg bakes that can be made ahead of time and kept at the ready in your fridge or freezer. 

I’m kind of a sucker for egg bakes. There are a million versions out there, but most of them involve throwing a bunch of ingredients into a bowl, mixing them with scrambled eggs and pouring them into a  casserole dish before baking.

They’re super great for feeding a crowd. But what if you don’t have a crowd to feed? That’s where these individual-portioned egg bakes made in a muffin tin really shine. It makes these wonderful little single serve portions. And best yet, they can be refrigerated or frozen for eating later in the week.

Score! Actual home-cooked breakfast you can eat during the week while you’re rushing to get out the door because you overslept and now you’re late for work and you need to leave the house RIGHT NOW if you are going to catch your bus on time and make it to the office in time for that Monday morning 8:30 meeting. (Wait… is that just me? Please tell me it’s not just me.)
