Egg Muffins (Base Recipe)
Makes 12
6-8 whole eggs (depending on what size.)
1/2 C milk or HWC
1/2# meat of choice (eyeballed)
1/2# shredded cheese of choice (eyeballed)
Up to 1 cup chopped veggies of choice (eyeballed)
Beat eggs and milk well. Season. Add in YOUR PERSONAL mix of meat, cheese and/or veggies. Pour into greased 12 cup muffin tin or silicon pan. Bake at 350°F for 30-45 minutes or until done. Serve, or cool and put in the fridge. These can be eaten right out of the fridge.
A LOT of the measurements are gonna be eyeballed, but you don't want to use 12 eggs straight away. The egg is more of a binder to hold the other ingredients together. I'd say the egg makes up 50% of each muffin.
COMBOS WE'VE TRIED AND LOVE
TACO
Leftover seasoned taco meat or chorizo
Mexican cheese shreds
Replace milk with sour cream
top with a dollop of salsa before cooking
Our Regular
Chopped mushrooms and spinach
white cheddar shreds
chopped, cooked breakfast sausage
Vegetable Blend
We usually toss in any combo of chopped raw broccoli, mushrooms, onion, sprouts, etc. The moisture in the muffins cooks the veggies. Bell peppers, zucchini, small diced BLANCHED potatoes, kale, okra, etc can work. I am not really sure carrots or celery would though. We've never tried.
Meatza
Any mix of chopped, cooked meat (sausage, bacon, burger, etc)
Any amount of shredded cheese to put down a bull moose
Pizza
Chopped pepperoni (no need to cook)
mushrooms
black olives
onions
mozzy shreds
top with a spoon full of sauce
anything you'd normally put on top of pizza. Except pineapple. That's sacrilege.
Bagels and Lox
Reduce milk by 1/2, add in cream cheese
1-2 cans drained pink salmon OR leftover cooked salmon
1T or more of Everything Bagel Spice Mix
Oriental
Replace a small amount of the added milk with soy sauce and sesame oil
Chopped scallions
Mushroom
Chopped bamboo shoots
Leftover fried rice
Leftover take out you had the night before
Whachoomakin
This one is the most difficult of them all, cause it counts on YOU putting in whatever would make YOU happy!
