Mornings can get so busy and hectic around here so I am all about making things simple and quick especially when school starts. The quicker the meal the better, and these scrambled egg breakfast muffins will make your mornings a breeze.
Plus, your kids can even make this for themselves if they are already made up, they would just have to grab them out of the fridge and eat it or heat it up for a few seconds. Then, you know that they are getting a good source of protein and even some vegetables as well.
This recipe is very flexible as well, if you don’t like some of the vegetables that are in it you can either replace it with something else or leave it out completely. Customize it to what your family likes!

How to put together this make-ahead breakfast recipe:
To get started with this easy breakfast recipe, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Then, using either a 12-cup metal muffin pan or a 12-cup silicone muffin pan spray the inside of each cup with nonstick cooking spray.
RECIPE TIP: For the metal pans be sure to spray them very well to help the muffins stick less, or use thick muffin liners for easier cleanup.
Then, in a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs together. (I’ve found that the more I whipped them the fluffier the muffins are and less likely to fall.)
Next, add in the seasoned salt, diced onion, cooked diced ham, pepper, garlic powder, bell pepper, sauteed and diced mushrooms, shredded cheddar cheese, and finely shredded baby spinach.
Mix it all together well with the eggs making sure everything gets covered.
Now, scoop about a ⅓ cup of the egg mixture into each of the muffin liners. Be sure to scoop towards the bottom to not miss the veggies.
Once all of the muffin liners are full, place the pan in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the center of the muffin is completely cooked through.
After they are completely cooked, remove them from the pan and let them cool. Then either eat them right away or store them in an airtight container or pop them in the freezer!

How to freeze egg muffins
After you have made your egg muffins and let them cool down, you can store them in an air-right container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
You can also place them in a resealable gallon-sized bag or freezer-safe container for up to 60 days. To keep them as fresh as possible while in the freezer, some of our readers have recommend individually wrapping each muffin.
How to reheat Scrambled egg breakfast muffins
When you have removed your scrambled egg muffin from the fridge or freezer, just reheat until it’s warmed all the way through to the center of the muffin. Start with 30 seconds and then add on 10 second intervals until warm.

Love this recipe. Can this be frozen? Thanks!
-
Yes, they totally can! After cooking, let them cool and then place in a freezer ziploc bag. Pull them out as needed. I would first defrost them (either let them thaw in your fridge for a couple of hours before you want to eat them or defrost in your microwave) and then microwave them on high power for about 45-55 seconds (if you go much longer than that, they will start to get rubbery). I hope that this helps!
-
Thank you for letting us know we can freeze these. I am a widow and hate making items that are meant for 6 or more people unless I can freeze them for later use by myself. I get so frustrated that everything is meant for two or more. All the coupons that come out are buy one, get one free. I don't need that second one and I am sure there are many other senior citizens and single people who feel the same way. Thanks for letting me vent.
-
For people who get coupons for buy one get one free and don't need the second one. Please consider giving this second one to your local food pantry. There are lots of families out there who could use the one you don't want. There are lots of children whose families use food pantrys. Your free second one might just provide a meal for a small child who would have gone hungry if you had not helped with your free one that you did not need.
-
Yes that is me totally. I am also a widow for 7 years. So glad it can be frozen after cooking
-
Totally agree! Need smaller packages of most items. Hard not to waste precious food & money!
-
Just made these for my elderly mother adding diced tomatoes onion and bacon and cheese. She absolutely loves them! I used my large muffin 6 cup tin for a larger muffin and had to adjust cook time by approximately 12 minutes! Yummy!
-
-
We don’t have a microwave. How would you suggest re heating them from frozen?
-
-
-
Thanks for letting us know these will freeze well. I am a widow and I am usually looking for recipes that are for one or possibly two people so I won't be wasting food. It is very frustrating to me (as I am sure it is for other single people) to find only recipes geared to families of six or more. I am especially frustrated at the coupons put out that are buy one, get one free. I need coupons for one! I need recipes for one or two! Thanks for letting me vent.

There is an app called Pepperplate. After you enter a recipe it will allow you to select the scale you want and adjust it to the size you select. 1/3 to 3 I believe. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip on freezing them. I've been making these (yes, me!) because I need more protein in the morning, but I've noticed that they give off a lot of moisture in the Tupperware container. I even tried putting in a power towel with them, but it just got soggy. Now I'll try freezing them and just getting out what I need each morning and see if that solves the soggy problem!
-
Love this. How long would you bake if using a mini muffin pan? Thanks.
-
-
These look great. Can you leave out the cheese? I ask because I am on a dairy free diet and I'm tired of the scrambled eggs with veggies in a bowl deal. :)
-
Can you keep these refrigerated in an airtight container? And if so, how long?
-
A tip for reheating in a microwave oven: use the half-power option if you have it. Makes all the difference in the world! No rubbery texture at all. You could also use the 'defrost' option. These are great to have in the freezer for a quick and on the go breakfast full of protein.
-
When I've made these I notice they are all puffy and awesome right out of the oven, but then they fall, even before I can serve them. I cannot put a single additional drop of egg mixture in the silicone cups I'm baking them in, so when they fall they look all pathetic and wimpy -- nearly half the volume. Puffy, they're just gorgeous. Any tips on keeping them from collapsing like that?
-
Hi Jackie! I am so sorry that these sink! I have had sinking problems in other egg dishes and I found that the more I whip my eggs, the fluffier the egg dish is . . . I wonder if you just beat the heck out of the eggs if it would help to keep them from sinking? I hope that helps! Thanks for the comment!
-
You can always put in sour cream in as well. I put it in mine and they are nice and fluffy.
-
A tablespoon of flour beaten in would probably help too
-
How many eggs are required to make enough mixture to fill a muffin tin?
-
-
Did you ever solve this? I'm having the same problem.
-
-
Hi there Six Sisters, Amazing recipies you gals got I follow your recipies as much as possible, they are so nice just like the beautiful six sisters. Greetings from Srilanka and all good wishes for the coming season. Merry Christmas Nelun
-
I put loads of veggies, a little parmesan cheese, and some red pepper for a added kick... they came out great, however, they stuck to the pan really bad. I sprayed the pan really well... or so I thought. Anyway, any tips on getting them to not stick to the pan? I left them to cool for a bit before I tried taking them out, should I try removing them from the pan right after I take them out instead?
-
Instead of a muffin pan use silicone baking cups they are great! And you can just line them up on a cookie sheet no muffin tin needed so you can do more than a dozen at a time!
-
I used silicone muffin cups and they were brilliant! I let then cool enough to handle, then popped then out of the silicone and continued to cool them on a rack before freezing.
-
Use silicon pans - no greasing necessary & the cooked goodies just fall out
-
So I have seen other egg muffin recipes and one of them calls for coconut oil(2 tbsp) and you use that the grease the muffin tin. I haven't had any probalem as long as I grease generously and it's healthy.
-
Silicon muffin pan! A real life saver. I learned after making in a metal pan the first time. They just pop right out of silicon.
-
-
Have you ever added shredded hash browns?
-
Do U have any nutritional information on these? They are wonderful but am tracking my food. Thank U in advance.
-
Made these today for the first time they were amazing
-
I'm making these tonight to have for breakfast for the week. Do you suggest freezing them or storing in the refrigerator in a sealed container?
-
I would LOVE for you to have a symbol for Seniors/one person recipes. Found this confusing to get freezer info but then suggest it's better to refrigerate. If beating eggs fluffier and/or adding sour cream, how much is needed? Thanks for coming up with breakfast ideas!!!
-
I sprayed the crud out of my muffin tins and they stuck like nuts on both the sides and bottom. I used a knife for the sides but the bottoms just ripped to pieces. Could I put them in cupcake paper cups when I bake them? I do not own silicone cups and don't really want to purchase them for this one recipe. :) I was also wondering if I should freeze them right in the muffin tins and then maybe they would release like an ice cube? Any suggestions would be awesome. My husband loved them and I would like to make them again but cleaning the pans took longer than making and baking them. :(
-
I used foil cupcake liners and sprayed with cooking spray inside the liners. Popped right out! If you have the paper liners, maybe use two so the egg doesn't soak through! Experiment a bit with the liners. Good luck!
-
Yes, you most certainly can use cupcake liners. I have and also the new cupcake silicone lines, which I love! I have not used a bare cupcake pan in years.
-
-
Made them Saturday and absolutely love them! My 1 year old eats them too, which I love because it's so much protein for her. Do you know the nutrition facts on this dish? Thank you :)
-
Sticking resolved! I used a metal muffin tin with foil muffin cups (like the paper ones but made of aluminum foil) and then sprayed the foil muffin cups with Pam before pouring in the egg mixture and after cooking, they came out great. They had almost popped out of the cups. These remind me a lot of popovers which are also fabulous. They taste a lot like them (as I make these with just the egg and none of the extra stuff), they also come out of the oven looking beautiful like popovers and then sadly sink down but still taste great. And I did try yesterday to really whip the eggs a lot and also tried to add some flour as suggested in other comments to help with the sinking but... it didn't work. I really thank you for this recipe as I am extremely sensitive to textures and this gives me another way to make eggs that I truly enjoy and now I can get the protein that my body needs. Really ladies, thank you so much. I have tried several of your recipes, and honestly have loved every single one!!
-
This basically not a little omelette?
-
I love these! And I love the endless possibilities with add-ins! Idk if this is "allowed" on here ... but I have found a fool proof solution for not sticking: The Pamperes Chef individuals brownie pan. Idk what they make that out of, but it's magical. I've made batches of this egg recipe and a variety of other foods to freeze in this. Nothing sticks. I spray Pam and nothing sticks. Ever.
-
Grateful!
-
Has anyone tried substituting egg white for half of the eggs?
-
Made them tonight with 12 eggs, 6 yolks, taste fantastic. They were incredibly fluffy in the oven and rose really high, but deflated a bit once I took them out and started to cool. Taste great thought
-
-
They looked pretty but were too dry!?
-
What is the cooking instruction (time and temp) if using a Mini muffin pan? Thanks
-
Oh my goodness! These were wonderful. I sprayed the muffin tin really well, and had absolutely no problem getting the eggs out when they were done. I did saute all the veggies and ham prior to adding them to the eggs, and I think that was helpful. I added: mushrooms, spinach, onions, mixed peppers, and ham. Yum! When done, the eggs have a wonderful fluffy texture. This recipe is a keeper, and will make it when I have over night guests. Thanks so much for this super recipe!
-
Made these today for a breakfast at work. I left out the meat and substituted Feta for cheddar. I sprayed my pans really well and they slid right out. To transport I put in my preheated crockpot, they stayed warm and were a big hit! Thanks!
-
No matter how much oil I coat the muffin pan with they stick terribly! Any other advise.
-
Use the old method of scrunching up some greaseproof paper, lunchwrap into a ball and dipping it into some butter or margarine or any solid spread that you use, then grease containers with it making sure they are greased around the edges at the bottom properly.Tip 1 When cooked, leave in oven to cool a little before taking them out. Tip 2 Keep back 3 or 4 egg whites and beat them until stiff peak's form then carefully fold them into rest of beaten egg mixture.
-
-
Love this recipe! Something about red or green peppers yhry easily go bad. Replace with thoroughly thawed green peas. Delicious.
-
I know this is a long time coming to reply, but I too had a problem with the peppers going bad before I could use all of them so I bought dried peppers and rehydrated what I need now.
-
-
I added sautéed onions, pepperoni, cheddar and fresh chopped basil to mine, the flavor was perfect! A third a cup was way too much for my muffin pan, it filled them almost to the top, they puffed up beautifully then spilled over in the oven... Next time I will fill them just below halfway. Because they were so full the cook time ended up being over 30 minutes. I used foil squares that I cut up and gently lined the cups with, and sprayed them lightly with olive oil, no sticking issues! Can't wait to try these again with different flavors! Thanks for sharing!
-
How long do you reheat in the microwave?
-
I make muffins not unlike your recipe but I like your ingredient list better. So good to grab and go on a busy morning.
-
I need to make for a baby shower and need to transport. How do I keep them warm?.
-
Is this a recipe for 12 muffins or 24?
-
I just made these. I used 12 eggs from my chickens, shredded cheddar, green pepper, tomatoes, salt and pepper and onion. Baked in my Temp-tations cupcake pans. This recipe filled the pans exactly. I did bake for a total of 30 minutes. They puffed up and looked great! Super easy. I will use a variance of this recipe to use up eggs and veggies. I am letting them cool, than will be storing them in the fridge to be used this week. Thanks for an easy recipe!
-
I too had to bake mine for 30 min. At first, I thought I had done something wrong, but when I removed them from the oven and they sat for a couple of minutes they were fine!
-
-
Yummy! I used green onion, bacon & Canadian bacon
-
What are the nutritional info for these?
-
What is the nutritional information (Calories, fat, carbs, protein, etc.) for these? Thank!
-
This recipe is a huge hit at my house, thank you SO Much! It's so easy to sneak in those veggies etc. My 7 old even loved spinach in these. Score! Thanks to the Six Sisters for making this mom's job a bit easier!
-
can I use goat cheese in muffins
-
I got and lost the recipe for chicken pot pies made with phyllo dough...where can I find it thankyou..it looks great...
-
This is very easy and quick to make. I made these with diced bacon. They cooked up so nicely, puffy and tasty. Thanks for the recipe.
-
Hi there ladies Do you have any recipes for using an instant pot?
