Egg "muffins": quick, healthy, grab n go breakfasts

Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new school year, at least for the teachers in our district, so for me it marks the beginning of some new habits I want to form. The idea was to pre- make my breakfasts for the week and have something that's quick to grab, but a little bit healthier than what I've munched on in the past.

These egg "muffins"look to be filling and healthy - and look at me, sneaking veggies into breakfast. Never thought that day would come for this girl!

I used:

• 8 eggs
• 1 red bell pepper - chopped
• 6 slices deli ham
• 6 slices of cooked bacon (method)
• shredded cheese - any would work, I used mexican blend
• 1 muffin tin sprayed with olive oil cooking spray

I pre-heated my oven to 350, prepared my ingredients and then got ready to work. 

  I first put my mix ins in the tin - the top 6 are ham, the bottom 6 are bacon - all with chopped red pepper

 I added the egg mixture to each tin using a small measuring cup and sprinkled cheese on the top.

 After baking for about 20-25 minutes - they looked like this: YUM!

I used a butter knife to loosen the edges and they popped right out. I set them on this board to cool...

 I turned around for one second and when I turn back - this is what I saw...

 I have not yet had one - but my husband says they are amazing and he now wants his own batch.


As per usual, this idea came from Pinterest - and is a compilation of this blog and this blog.
Pinterest for the win again!
