Easy Egg Muffin Cups
I love a good broccoli cheese combo and it makes for the perfect mix-ins for these egg muffin cups. I threw in red bell peppers for a little crunch too.
What you Need for Egg Muffins
- muffin tin – I highly recommend a 12-cup silicone muffin pan for this recipe. Or, get silicone muffin liners. They’re inexpensive and will make dishes a lot easier!
- large eggs – I used 10 eggs in this recipe
- broccoli – my green vegetable of choice
- bell pepper – I like red to add some color and sweet flavor
- cheese – freshly grated cheddar is my favorite here.
- milk – just a little for a lighter, fluffy egg muffin. I used cashew but any milk is fine.

Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 Cup Milk
- 1 ½ cups chopped broccoli florets*
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF and spray 12-cup silicone muffin pan. If using a metal muffin pan, I highly suggest silicone liners.
- In large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Fold in broccoli florets, red bell pepper, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper.
- Evenly distribute mixture to greased muffin pan.
- Bake egg muffins for 20-25 minutes, until eggs are cooked through. Allow eggs to cool in pan for 15 mintues. Use a butter knife to gently go around edge of egg muffin and release.
- Serve with favorite breakfast items, english muffins, fruit, yogurt, etc.
- Store leftovers in fridge and enjoy within 3 days. To reheat, pop in microwave for about 20-30 seconds.
Notes
*I used frozen broccoli, then lightly steamed it before adding to the egg mixture. You can also use fresh broccoli without cooking beforehand.
Freezer Storage – Place cooled egg muffins in freezer safe container and store for 2-3 months. To reheat, I suggest letting muffins thaw in fridge first, then toaster oven for about 15 minutes for best results. But you can also reheat from frozen, it will just take longer.
To Reheat – Place thawed egg muffins in the microwave for about 30 seconds. If frozen, check in 20-30 second increments.

My sister had chickens & man oh man did they ever lay some eggs! I used to make these weekly for my Mother’s breakfast & a quick breakfast for me on the run. You can add just about anything to these egg muffins that you would add to an omelette. They are so good, quick & easy! I hope y’all enjoy like I have!
