    As a personal chef, I make just about anything my clients request. Typically I prepare dinners and side dishes such baked salmon, eggplant Parmesan, and super cheesy mac and cheese.

    Some clients also like a delicious breakfast waiting in their refrigerator. My Muffin Tin Scrambled Eggs are a popular menu item with my clients looking for a quick to heat and delicious breakfast option.

    why I love muffin tin scrambled eggs

    I love that the egg muffin cups can be made to you taste preference. Add just about any vegetable. Add your favorite cooked breakfast meat. Try bacon, ham or sausage. Mix in cheese or skip it all together. This egg cup recipe is so fun to make!

    the ingredients

    Think of this recipe as a basic guide for making scrambled egg cups. Feel free to make them your own by adding your favorite vegetables, cheeses and breakfast meat such as bacon, ham or sausage.

    • 2 cups of your favorite vegetables finely chopped ~ try zucchini, onion, bell pepper, yellow squash, broccoli or mushroom
    • large eggs
    • water
    • kosher salt
    • pepper
    • garlic powder
    • mustard
    • cooking spray
    • optional ingredients - cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss cheese (add ยผ cup) and cooked bacon or breakfast sausage or ham (add ยฝ cup)
    adding sauteed vegetables to beaten eggs for egg cups

    recipe suggestions and tips

    • To keep the egg cups from sticking to the muffin tin, generously coat a nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray. Even though the pan is nonstick, the cooking spray is extra protection that the eggs will be easy to remove from the pan. Brushing the pan with melted butter or olive oil are also options.
    • Chop the vegetables in small pieces ~ about ยฝ inch is a good size.
    • Sauté the vegetables to delicious rich flavor to the egg cups.
    • Use a spoon to help remove the baked egg cups from the muffin pan.

    how to store and reheat muffin tin scrambled eggs

    To refrigerate ~ After baking, completely cool the egg cups. Store them in a airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These glass storage containers are the ones I use for my personal chef clients and at home.

    To freeze ~ After baking, completely cool the egg cups. Wrap each one separately and store in a large resealable bag. The muffin tin scrambled eggs can be frozen for up to 2 months.

    To reheat ~Refrigerated egg cups can be reheated in the microwave at 60% power at 30 second intervals. Frozen egg cups will take a little longer to reheat. Heat in the microwave at 60% power for about 1 minute. Continue heating at 30 second intervals until heated through.
