Make-Ahead Mother’s Day Brunch
I used Nellie’s Free Range Eggs in this recipe because I love that they are Certified Humane and that they work with small family farmers to produce the best eggs. These resulting egg muffins combine classic brunch ingredients in one savory muffin, so all you need to do is to pair them with a simple bowl of fruit, freshly brewed coffee or tea, and you can easily treat the moms in your life to a special brunch spread. And as anyone with kids knows, having time to make a special breakfast in the morning can be a challenge, so this egg muffins recipe can be made up to 2 days ahead of time to make it all doable.
Mini Egg Muffins
I’ve been making egg muffins for years and they were one of the first ways that my oldest enjoyed eggs. In recent years, she’s been liking them a little less…so I was pleasantly surprised to find that she really loves this recipe! (I’m pretty sure that the bacon had something to do with it.)
How to Make Easy Egg Muffins
Baking egg muffins in a muffin tin is one of our favorite ways to serve up eggs. We reach for Nellie’s Free Range Eggs whenever possible since they have more healthy fats than conventional eggs—and they’re often a much prettier vivid shade of yellow! And all you need to do to make this recipe is:
- Crisp-cook your bacon. (You can do this up to a day or two ahead!)
- Stir together the ingredients.
- Bake them up in a greased mini muffin tin.
- Pop them out of the muffin tin a few minutes after they come out of the oven.
- Serve warm or store for later in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat for about 30 seconds in the microwave and enjoy.
Healthy Egg Muffin Recipe
These easy egg muffins have protein from the free range eggs and cottage cheese, healthy fats from the eggs, and calcium from the cheese. And flavor from the bacon! They are super moist inside, making them a great food for even younger toddlers. You can even serve them with ketchup or salsa for dipping!
