Science has been telling us for years (ya know, because me and science are tight) how important it is to eat a good breakfast in the morning, but for a lot of people that’s difficult for a number of reasons. A major one being that you just don’t have the time, period.
Let’s cook:
Couldn’t be easier. Just combine all the ingredients and whisk together. I’ve found that even with greased, these stick horribly to the muffin pan so I like to use foil liners. You’ll need to remember to take them out of the liners before re-heating, but they work well for baking.
1/2 t hot sauce
Questions & Reviews
My sister is going to make these for a baby shower tomorrow and we were trying to figure out the egg combo. Do you need 4 eggs OR 1/4 egg substitute? I've never cooked with egg substitute but they seem to be the same.
Jessica,
Yes, these would work great. Have you seen our overnight egg casserole? It's one of my favorite things to take to a brunch and works great for a large group too. Here's the link:

I'm supposed to bring the "protein" dish to a baby shower brunch I'm going to on Saturday. Would these be pretty enough to bring? I like that they are easier to serve than slicing up a quiche. What do you think?
Thanks, Sara! 🙂
Not a silly question at all Mary! It really depends on your microwave, but I do it for about 30 seconds and they're perfect.
I know this is an old post and a silly question, but how long do you microwave these for? Thanks!
I am not a huge egg fan, but these turned out delicious… I made adjustments to the ingredients with things I love… adding oregeno, garlic salt, mushrooms and canadian bacon… I'm excited for breakfast this week, but they might not last the night.
I love this recipe. I made it for the third time today.
I just made these and they were really good. My son who is 2 years old ate one too. Thanks for the idea.
Crystal, I would probably saute the spinach first, just in a little non-stick cooking spray; that way, you could squeeze out any excess moisture.
Jodi-
haha, mine is clean because it’s pretty new!
Yummy! What I really want to know though, is how do you have such a clean muffin pan? I have been pondering how my muffin pan is so yucky and wondering if there is a secret pan to buy???
Crystal-
I bet fresh spinach is just fine. I always mean to try it, and then I don’t have any when I decide to make them! You may get some excess moisture from fresh spinach, so that would be the only thing, but my guess is that it’s just fine. I add fresh spinach to regular eggs all the time. If you try it, come back and let us know how it goes!
Could one use fresh spinach instead of the frozen? Another thing to add to my list to try. You two are too amazing.
I eat eggs pretty much every single day, but only because I’m diabetic and anything else does bad things to my blood sugar. If I could eat what I wanted, there’d be a lot more oatmeal, french toast, pancakes, and such in my mornings.
I just had my second baby and it is hard to find time to eat, especially in the morning. I think I will whip up a batch of these and hopefully my toddler will like to eat these too.
One of my goals is to eat better at breakfast – these look like a perfect solution!! Thanks!
This is a really great idea! You guys come up with the best stuff! AND, they look delicious to boot!
i LOVE this idea!!! and i am always looking for something for breakfast because I have to get up at 4am.. yes 4! Thanks for sharing this!!
I’m making these tonight for dinner. I love breakfast for dinner!! You girls have the best recipes, I always know recipes I get from here will be tasty (no pressure, right?!)
Oh how yummy sounding!!!! I have never seen anything like this before!
Yum! I love these. I usually put chopped asparagus in them. I like a little crunch and I hate bacon. Yeah, it’s true.
Kate- I’ve done them without liners too, but even with a good spray the pan is always a beast to clean, so that’s why I always use liners!
Anything with “quiche” in the name is my friend.
These look so good.
Those look so yummy! I’ve done something similar, except I don’t put them in any kind of liner so I can pop it right into the microwave. But I suppose I could just peel back the liner first, huh? I’ll have to make some more…yummm…
My weight loss program consists of a high protein low carb diet and I’m SO excited to try these. I’m not sure my kids will eat ’em up like my hubby and I will but it’s sure worth a shot. Thank you!
Great idea! I am going to be trying this since i am on WW. Love it!
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing it.
I’ve made a variation of these before and loved them but your recipe sounds so much easier and healthy. I’ll be trying them very soon as I’ve had about enough of the cold cereal monotony.
YUM!!! I have the hardest time fitting breakfast in because of early morning classes. I usually just eat when I get home. These might change that- they sound wonderful!
