- Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
*Note: Make sure to grease your muffin tin properly and use a good-quality non-stick muffin tray. If you’re unsure, use parchment paper or cupcake liners to prevent sticking.

I love these. They fill me up and I don’t like eating a big breakfast so they’re great on the go! I love the recipes on this site in general, but it’s so bogged down by so many ads that it takes me forever to scroll through and get to the meat of the article. A little frustrating when my computer freezes on me halfway through all the time.
delicious recipe
Just made these with grand reviews for all, ages 4-75. Very easy, fast and delicious!!!
Do you sauté the mushrooms and peppers prior to adding
Hi Sandy… No need to precook anything. Add all veggies raw as they cook while baking in the egg mixture. Of course, if you’d like to fry anything up before hand, you’re more than welcome too.
Mushrooms, spinach, zucchini (and most veggies) release a lot of liquid when they cook so if you want to avoid soggy muffins, saute your veggies in a pan and then add them to your muffin pan.
Some veggies contain a lot of water like mushroom I always saute mine before.
going to make them thanks so much for the recipe just resigned for your emails did you not put any cheese in mushroom combo? diana from Toronto
Yes, I do like cheese though. You can leave it out if needed.
I just made a batch (12) and used a Chantal 6-muffin baking pan that make heart shape muffins. Filled with fresh spinach, bacon, cherry tomatoes, green onions and mozzarella cheese. They turned out cute, colorful w/ingredients I used and very yummy! They are good size muffins and really puff high during the baking process but do shrink as they cool leaving a slight hole in the middle. They are a little deformed, but did not lose the heart-shape. I bet filling the hole w/sour cream would even make them more yummy (if you like sour cream) or how about salsa? Idea is endless. Since these are large muffins, I had to used 16 jumbo size eggs to fill cups 1/2 way with the egg batter first, then add fillings. These will go fast since I am using them for a brunch. I did not use paper liners; just sprayed cups w/Pam and they popped out beautifully. I won’t bake them any longer than 20-mins. I drizzled a balsamic vinegar glaze on the one I “taste-tested”. Very yummy!
I made these today AMAZING!! Super fast with little clean up.Can’t wait to make more .I’m freezing them in 2’s.
I made these today and they were delicious! I used reusable silicon baking cups and the clean-up was a breeze. I can’t wait to try more flavor combinations. Thank you for the great recipe.
Re: Marcelle July 2, 2018 I think that the hole in her egg muffins might have come from large bubbles in the beaten egg. Either let the egg mixture rest for a minute until the bubbles burst, or fill the muffin tin then lift it up an inch or so and drop it to burst the air bubbles. That is done with breads and cakes. I hope this helps !!
Thank you- scrolled through the post to find an answer. Now I will try them??
Are these “mini” muffins or regular size?
These are regular size muffin cups. Hope that helps! XO
