Protein-Packed Egg Muffins

If you're looking for a quick, healthy, and high-protein breakfast, Protein-Packed Egg Muffins are the perfect choice. They are easy to prepare, low in carbs, and ideal for busy mornings — bake a tray on Sunday and you have a nutritious meal on the go all week. Soft, flavourful and endlessly customisable with vegetables, chicken or cheese, they bring the same hands-off elegance as our Cheesy Spinach Egg Bowl with the portability of a grab-and-go bite.

The Method

Instructions

  1. 01

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a muffin tray with olive oil or butter.

  2. 02

    Chop the spinach and bell peppers into small pieces. Cook and shred the chicken if it isn't already prepared.

  3. 03

    Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk well. Add the milk (if using), salt and black pepper.

  4. 04

    Fold the chicken, spinach, bell peppers and shredded cheese into the egg mixture and stir to combine.

  5. 05

    Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

  6. 06

    Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.

  7. 07

    Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before lifting them from the tray. Serve warm or store for later.

— Chef's Notes —
  • Swap chicken for turkey or lean beef, or skip the meat entirely for a vegetarian tray.
  • Add mushrooms, onions, or fresh herbs for an extra layer of flavour.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze and reheat for a longer-lasting meal prep.
