I’m all about quick and easy breakfast options in the morning. In the past, I would grab some sort of protein bar. But, after really looking into the ingredients in many of them, the sugar was really high. So, I started looking for a better for me breakfast option. I remember seeing egg muffins all over the place but really wasn’t sure they’d be good leftover in the mornings. I figured they were worth a try, so I added the ingredients I usually like in an omelet to my grocery list and finally made them last week.
Not only was I amazed with how easy they were, they were delicious. Full of flavor, filling and just as good leftover as the day I made them. With back to school around the corner, I have a feeling having these made ahead of time will definitely help me eat a good breakfast on the busy school mornings.
The biggest accomplishment with these is that hubs even approved. This is coming from the guy who when saw what I was making said he’s not a fan of eggs reheated, so I didn’t need to make any extra for him. Well…I already have to make more because a certain someone has been also having two every morning for breakfast.
The varieties for this recipe are endless. I added red and green peppers and a little bit of cheese. You can add mushrooms, spinach, bacon, ham, turkey, onion, broccoli, feta, tomatoes, etc. Next time I make them, I’ll definitely add some spinach and mushrooms.
Do you have any quick and easy go to breakfast recipes?
- 10 extra large eggs or 12 large
- 1 cup red pepper diced
- 1 cup green pepper diced
- 1 cup turkey sausage crumbles I use Jimmy Dean
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- Add diced peppers, turkey sausage and cheese to eggs and stir until all ingredients are mixed together.
- Fill each muffin tin about 2/3 full of the egg mixture.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until the edges are brown and the center is cooked through.
Love these! I used to make them (ages ago before kids), and I need to start again. My husband was just asking for a quick breakfast that he can take with him. SCORE! And we love Jimmy Dean, and have those in our freezer right now, so it all works out!

I’m always looking for a quick and easy (and healthy-ish) breakfast I can grab and eat on my way to work! I know I’ve pinned similar recipes but I’ve never followed through with making them. However, perhaps this will give me the motivation I need. Thanks for sharing!
