I love making a batch of these easy breakfast Broccoli and Cheese Egg Muffins for meal prep. Perfect to make ahead for easy breakfast on the go.
Broccoli and Cheese Egg Muffins
I refrigerate them then pop them in the microwave for one minute and they taste as good as when I first made them.
A great way to start the morning because they are high in protein, taste great and satisfy me until lunch. You can make these so many different ways with whatever you have hanging around in your refrigerator. Here are some other suggestions.
Egg Muffin Variations:
- Green Eggs and Ham – Spinach, chopped scallions, and ham.
- Kale – Chopped onion, and chopped fresh baby kale.
- Mushrooms and Cheese – sliced mushrooms and Swiss cheese.
- Or try these Loaded Egg Muffins.
I usually like to combine egg whites with whole eggs, but if you rather use egg whites, that is fine too. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Microwave in 30 seconds intervals until heated through.
