Easy Egg Muffins
Prep time: 19 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 34 mins
Make these in bulk on a weekend and store in the freezer for easy grab-n-go breakfasts during the week.
Serves: 12
Ingredients
12 eggs from pasture raised, local chickens
1 teaspoon of unrefined sea salt
pinch of cayenne
Extra virgin coconut oil
2 cups any variety of mixed vegetables (such as):
¾ cup tomato, seeded and diced
¾ cup kale, finely chopped
¼ cup raw cheese, grass-fed (such as hard cheddar)
2-3 tablespoons red onion, minced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Add approximately half a teasppon of coconut oil to each muffin tin and using a wadded up paper towel or your hands, liberally grease each tin with the oil. The more oil, the easier the pan will clean up afterwards. Set aside.
Toss approximately 2 cups of fresh vegetables and/or cheese together in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
Blend eggs together in a food processor, blender, or with a whisk. Add salt and pepper. Combine with vegetables and mix well.
Fill each muffin tin with egg batter until evenly distributed. Bake for 12-15 minutes until centers are just set but still jiggly and wet looking. Cool for 10 minutes. Extract muffins by tracing the border of each tin with a spoon and then scooping from the bottom.
Notes
When completely cool, store muffins in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or microwave for 1 minute.
