These easy, low-carb, make ahead breakfast egg muffins a just the thing for busy mornings!

They’re so easy to make the night before and then pop into the freezer once cool. You can also fill them with leftovers, extra veggies, and CHEESE.

The word ‘cheese’ is capitalized because cheese is life around here.

And did I mention the leftovers part? Other than glorious cheese, using up leftovers is totally my jam.

Shredded chicken from tacos? Add it in with some onions and cheddar.

Leftover spinach from dinner’s salad? Toss with some tomatoes and add it in!

Leftover roasted broccoli? Add those babies in!

In short, make ahead breakfast muffins are grabbable, easy, delicious, and use up leftovers.

I love that for us.

It’s a great breakfast for people who are not breakfast fans.

Case in point: me.

I’ve never been a breakfast person. Give me a cup of coffee and a piece of toast or a banana, and I’m golden.

But since becoming a working mother, I’ve found myself running around so much in the morning that I’m feeling starved by lunchtime.

And breakfast started to become even more important than ever before.

But when toast isn’t cutting it anymore, and neither is cereal, you turn to more protein-packed, low-carb options that will keep your tummy fuller for longer.

That’s where make ahead breakfast egg muffins come in!

These egg muffins are made 3 different ways.

I played around with the fillings, but I have a basic ratio for you: For every four cups, you’ll need:

• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk (doesn’t even have to be dairy! Almond milk worked great in these muffins)
• 2 tablespoons filling, whatever you choose that to be.

That ratio will vary slightly depending on your filling, but it’s pretty standard. Just double it or triple it depending on how many make ahead breakfast egg muffins you feel like making!
