Breakfast Egg Muffins
Protein-packed and nutrient-rich, these soft, fluffy egg muffins are a great breakfast option for busy families and can be easily customized by adding different chopped vegetables like bell peppers or tomatoes. They provide a boost of choline which is important for babies, kids, and parents too. Consider omitting the salt if preparing for an infant.

Breakfast Egg Muffins Recipe
Breakfast Egg Muffins

Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, minced (about ½ cup)
- ½ cup chopped baby Bella mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
- ½ cup fresh baby spinach, finely chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 cups whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- (¼ teaspoon salt, consider omitting if serving to an infant under 12 months)
- 4 large eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F and lightly oil a standard-sized, 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper cupcake liners.
- Heat a non-stick, medium-sized skillet using medium heat and add olive oil.
- Add onions and mushrooms and sauté until onions are soft and translucent, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix together the onion mixture, spinach, hash browns, 1½ cups of cheese, the flour mixture, milk, salt, pepper, and eggs with a rubber spatula until combined.
- Scoop ¼ cup of egg mixture into each muffin well.
- Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese over the top and bake until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
- Cool in the muffin pan on a wire cooling rack for at least 5 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Leftovers can be easily reheated in the microwave.
- Major allergens include eggs, wheat, and milk.
