These easy Egg Muffins are the perfect gluten free, low carb breakfast. Ideal for meal prep or lunchboxes, and great for a quick snack on-the-go! Kids will love them too.
Preheat the oven to 200C / Fan 180C / Gas Mark 6. Liberally spray the holes of a 12-hole muffin tin with spray oil and use your fingers to ensure it is well greased. Set to one side.
Add the eggs to a measuring jug and whisk lightly. You want them to be well combined. Season well with salt and pepper then whisk again.
Pour the egg mixture evenly between the muffin tin holes - they should be approximately half full. Then add your fillings as follows:
For the cheese and bacon egg muffins:
Chop the bacon medallions into small pieces and fry off until cooked. Add to the egg muffins along with the grated cheese. Use a teaspoon to gently mix.
For the mushroom and spinach egg muffins:
Chop the mushrooms into small pieces. Add to a frying pan along with the spinach, garlic granules and a couple of sprays of oil. Fry on a low heat until the mushrooms have softened and the spinach has wilted.
Remove from the pan and let the cooked veg sit for a minute or two in a bowl, then drain off any excess moisture before adding the veg to the egg muffin mixture. Use a teaspoon to gently mix.
For the tomato and feta egg muffins:
Add the cherry tomatoes and feta evenly between the egg muffins and use a teaspoon to gently mix. You could gently fry off the tomatoes first if you like, as these egg muffins may be a little softer.
To cook the egg muffins:
Bake the egg muffins in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden on top. They should have risen nicely and not wobble in the middle at all.
Remove from the oven to a cooling rack and enjoy hot or cold. I recommend leaving them for 5-10 minutes before trying to remove them from the tin.
