Mornings are hard. Breakfast shouldn’t be. These cheesy egg muffins are the answer: grab, reheat, and go.
They’re fluffy, cheesy, and packed with whatever add-ins you have lurking in the fridge. Make a batch on Sunday. Thank yourself all week.
Step-by-Step Instructions
11
Prep the Pan
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with nonstick spray or butter (don’t skimp or they’ll stick).
22
Whisk the Eggs
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy and well combined.
33
Add Cheese and Mix-ins
- Stir in shredded cheese and your chosen add-ins.
44
Fill and Bake
- Pour egg mixture evenly into muffin cups (about ¾ full).
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until puffed and golden on top.
- A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
55
Cool and Pop Out
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and pop them out. They will deflate slightly—that’s normal.

Storage Notes
Fridge:
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Freezer (Best for Meal Prep):
Cool completely. Freeze in a single layer on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Store for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen for 45-60 seconds.
Pro Tip:
- Reheat in an air fryer at 300°F for 3-4 minutes for slightly crispy edges instead of soft ones.
