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.
Instructions
- 01
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a muffin tray with olive oil or butter.
- 02
Chop the spinach and bell peppers into small pieces. Cook and shred the chicken if it isn't already prepared.
- 03
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk well. Add the milk (if using), salt and black pepper.
- 04
Fold the chicken, spinach, bell peppers and shredded cheese into the egg mixture and stir to combine.
- 05
Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- 06
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
- 07
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before lifting them from the tray. Serve warm or store for later.
- ✦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.
