Egg Muffins are itty bitty omelettes in muffin form. They are great because you can make them any way you like. Just add your favorite vegetables, cheese and/or meats.
Omelettes are delicious. There are so many different versions: Southwestern, Denver, Mushroom and Herb, you name it! These Egg Muffins are the perfect breakfast for eating on the go. Or you can top them with salsa and whatever else you fancy and have a leisurely breakfast/brunch with a side of fruit and orange juice. My kids loved eating them with their hands as is. Make them how you want, but don’t forget the cheese!
