Baked Egg Muffins
This post may include affiliate links. Thank you for your support.
These healthy baked egg muffins are loaded with protein and veggies. Make them at the beginning of the week for a quick, on-the-go breakfast option for busy mornings.
There was a period of time where Isaac and I lived on these egg muffins! They were the perfect portable breakfast for Isaac as he headed into work and I loved having them as a simple option as part of my morning routine.
Egg Muffins Are a Family Favorite
Whether you’re rushing out the door or just need a simple breakfast idea, I highly recommend prepping a batch of these egg muffins for the week! It’s one less thing to think about before working out or sitting down at the computer to work.
Isaac and I both L-O-V-E them and they’re totally kid-friendly as well.
I recently made them for Olivia and she gobbled them right up. It’s no surprise because she loves eggs, but she actually ate all the veggies too! She doesn’t normally love broccoli so I was surprised. Needless to say, these are a great way to get your kiddos to eat more veggies.
Ingredients in Egg Muffins
The ingredients for these egg muffins are super simple. Here’s what you’ll need:
- eggs and egg whites – I did a blend of regular eggs and liquid egg whites (from a container) for this recipe, but as I mention you can totally do 12 full eggs if you’d like!
- feta cheese – cheese is optional, but I love the creaminess the feta cheese adds to these egg muffins. Feel free to use a vegan feta if you need a dairy-free option.
- veggies – I used a combo of sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms and broccoli for the veggies. If you’re short on time you don’t necessarily have to sauté the veggies, but I like the extra flavor it adds and the veggies are a bit softer.
- parsley – fresh herbs always make everything taste better so I highly recommend adding the fresh parsley if you have it!
- salt and pepper – gotta have these two for flavor!
Flavor Combination Ideas
Feel free to use this recipe as a base and customize it based on your favorite veggies and mix-ins. The options are seriously endless when it comes to egg muffins. Here are a few of my favorite combos:
- Chopped cherry tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese
- Breakfast sausage and hash brown potatoes
- Shredded sweet potato and bacon
- Jalapeño pepper, bacon and cheese
- Sun-dried tomatoes and spinach
What to Serve With Baked Egg Muffins
I love these egg muffins for grab-n-go meals on their own, but they would be such a great brunch addition as well! Here are some foods that would pair well with these egg muffins:
- Easy Fruit Salad – you can’t have brunch without a little fruit, right?!
- Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal – a great, sweet option to pair with the savory egg muffins.
- Peanut Butter Green Smoothie – can’t go wrong with a drink pairing!
- Coconut Flour Pancakes – I love having sweet and savory options together.
Storing and Reheating Egg Muffins
As I mentioned before, these egg muffins are great for meal prep. Here’s how to make them ahead of time and reheat:
Cool and store: After allowing the egg cups to cool, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
To reheat: You can use either the microwave or toaster oven! The microwave usually only takes about 30-45 seconds. I typically reheat mine in the toaster oven for a few minutes, but both methods work great!
Pro Tip: Use Silicone Baking Liners
If you are looking for easy clean up, I highly recommend using silicone baking liners! The egg muffins slide right out without any trouble at all. If you don’t have silicone liners, no problem! Just be sure to grease the muffin tin before baking.

Is it 141 calories for two egg cups or one?
2 cups.
I love these! I have been using silicone baking trays, so the whole tray is silicone and not using any liners. I’m having issues with them coming out very misshapen. Do you have a suggestion for achieving a uniform shape?
Are you letting the cups cool completely before taking them out of the trays? Maybe try greasing the trays with cooking spray or oil before adding the egg mixture?
Hi, what other low cal cheese can I substitute for the feta? I don’t like feta.
Thanks,
Lori
Hey Lori – You can totally sub in any cheese you prefer or skip it all together. 🙂
How long do they last in the fridge?
Hey Monica! These egg cups should last for up to 5 days in the fridge.
I made these last night to prep for the next couple dats! They were perfect. Ended up using 12 whole eggs instead of eggs white. Chopped tomatoes, onions and pepper turkey with garlic salt and pepper. Didn’t have silicon liners, so I used coconut oil to grease the muffin pans. None of the egg cups stuck at all!!! A great, healthy breakfast to take on the go. Just as tasty warming them up this morning. Thanks for the recipe!
Does anyone know how they taste cold? We are going to a neighborhood Easter egg hunt this Sunday morning and I’m looking to take a healthy breakfast option and these look perfect!
