Egg Muffins

Protein in the AM is key for me. It helps keep me feeling full all day and studies have shown that it helps reduce food cravings. I also struggle with getting veggies in the early part of the day. If you are on the go each morning this is a great recipe to have prepped on Sundays and you can grab and go. Here is one of our go-to, kid-friendly, hubby-approved morning recipes.

​Ingredients:
12 eggs
1-2 cups of veggies, your choice. I tend to use cherry tomatoes and organic spinach
4-6 slices of turkey bacon, nitrite free bacon OR chicken sausage (just enough to fill the bottom of the cups)
1/2-1 cup of mozzarella or cheese of your choice
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray nonstick oil on muffin pan. For this recipe, I'm using a regular size muffin pan. You can do mini l, but your times will change.
2. Precook your meat and line the bottom of each tin.

3. Add veggies.

4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and pour into each muffin tin. Should be about 2/3 full.

5. Top with cheese, salt and pepper. *Note: feel free to add herbs like basil and any seasoning that you love. I've even done nutritional yeast and it's delicious.

6. Bake 25 minutes or until center is set. They will rise a little.

Serving size is 2 muffins.
