These meal-prep egg muffins are designed to save you time and give you a quick and easy breakfast during your busy work week.
I love meal prepping these egg muffins on a Sunday to start the week off with ease. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day right?
Start with Gathering Everything You Need.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Cupcake/muffin tin
- Measuring spoons and cups
Ingredients
- Eggs
- Milk: I use whole milk. However, feel free to swap it out for an alternative if you have dietary requirements.
- Single or double (heavy) cream
- Seasoning: This will include salt, pepper, paprika, onion and garlic powder. However, feel free to put your spin on this if you would like.
- Fillings: these will vary based on your preference. I love adding Bell peppers and pancetta. You can use bacon however, I choose pancetta for the flavour and added protein.
Steps
Prepare any of your fillings before you get started. That will include washing any veggies and cooking any raw meats in advance. During this time, you can allow your oven to pre-heat.
My Favourite Fillings
- Peppers
- Bacon lardons
- Spinach
- Onions
Combine Everything and Bake
Once all the prep is done, combine all your ingredients, separate it into tins and bake. Here would be the best time to add any fillings you like, to the egg. Whether it’s tomatoes, cheese, chives, or mushrooms. Almost anything you can imagine can easily be incorporated into this mixture.
These egg muffins only take 15 minutes in the oven.
Store Your Meal Prep Egg Muffins.
This wouldn’t be a very good meal prep recipe if you can’t store it away for a later date.
Once your egg pots have completely cooled, store them in a container and put them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Because of the dairy in the pots, it would not last more than 4-5 days in the fridge before going off. So I would recommend a safer timeframe of 3 days max before freezing.
If you would like to batch-make the egg muffins, they are easy to freeze. Pop them into a container and freeze them for up to a month.
Reheating Your Meal Prep Egg Pots.
Meal prep recipes are supposed to be easy, right? So let’s keep the reheating simple. Pop it on a plate and shove it in the microwave. A refrigerated pot will only need about 1 minute in a high-voltage microwave. While a frozen pot will need about 90 seconds at 30-second intervals or until it is warm in the centre.
