Scrambled Egg “Muffins”

My husband and oldest son love to eat eggs either scrambled or fried. I had a surplus of eggs a few weeks ago and decided to try something new to us, individual scrambled egg “muffins”. I am sure I am not the first person to try this, but I did make up the recipe on my own. I was just winging it. :)

We thought they were tasty, so I wanted to share the recipe with you.

Having a cute 4 year old to stir up the eggs is optional, but definitely makes the process more fun.

Before I share the recipe I want to alert you to a couple of things. I made 2 batches of this recipe and found a couple of things out after the first batch.

First, make sure you use a very non-stick muffin tin or even a silicone one. Baking eggs in a Doughmakers muffin tin apparently isn’t a good idea. Trust me on this one.

The other thing I learned with my first batch was not to fill the muffin cups full of the egg mixture. 1/4 cup is just the right amount. If you fill them up to the top, this is what can happen.

My grandma always said, “I learn something new every day.” Obviously, I learned something from this experience.

Scrambled Egg “Muffins”
Serves: 12 "Muffins"
 
Ingredients
  • 9 Eggs
  • ¼ Cup Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon Pepper
  • ¾ Cup Cooked Sausage or Cooked & Crumbled Bacon
  • Bowl
  • Fork
  • Nonstick or Silicone Muffin Tin
Instructions
  1. Break eggs into the bowl.
  2. Add milk, salt, and pepper.
  3. Use a fork to mix everything well.
  4. Grease muffin tins.
  5. Add 1 Tablespoon of cooked sausage or bacon to each muffin cup.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of the egg mixture into each muffin cup.
  7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Allow to cool slightly and remove from muffin tins.
Notes
Do not overfill the muffin cups. ¼ cup is plenty or the egg mixture may overflow while baking. Also, be sure to use nonstick muffin tins.

I did try freezing some of the scrambled egg “muffins” since I had doubled the batch. I recommend using the oven instead of the microwave to reheat them.
