Egg muffins are a great weekday breakfast that can be made on the weekend. They will last a week in the fridge. Also these muffins are another great way to get some extra veggies in your diet! To these egg muffins you can add any type of meat or veggies as you prefer. I generally do not add meat to it…only veggies.
In this post I am sharing recipes for two types of egg muffins – one with spinach, parmesan cheese, tomatoes and jalapeno peppers and the other with mushrooms, bell peppers, minced garlic. Personally, I prefer egg muffins baked with chopped spinach, tomatoes and jalapeno peppers. You can add anything of your choice and also change the spices if you prefer…..that’s the beauty of this recipe.
This recipe requires….

Method
