Make Ahead Breakfast Egg Muffins, Three Ways

There’s a basic ratio used for these egg muffins: For every four egg cups, you'll need: 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons milk (doesn't even have to be dairy!), 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 breakfast egg muffins you feel like making!

  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 12 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

Prep Ahead:

  • Make the egg muffins as directed in the “Make From Fresh” instructions. When cool enough to handle, transfer to a resealable bag or container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week or the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • To serve, reheat in the oven, air fryer, or microwave until warmed through.

Make From Fresh:

  • Preheat the oven to 350*F.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  • Spray a muffin tin with cooking oil and divide the egg and milk mixture evenly between the cups.
  • Fill the cups with the ingredients of your choosing.
  • Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the center of the muffins have set and don’t jiggle in the pan.
  • Remove and let cool, then serve.
