Chef’s Note

I love the simplicity of breakfast sandwiches. These fit perfectly in toasted English muffins. Add a slice of cheese, some deli or breakfast meat, and any vegetable add-ins you like to finish your sandwich. 

How to Store

  • Serve: Don’t leave Muffin Tin Baked Eggs at room temperature for more than 2 hours. 
  • Store: If you’re making the eggs ahead of time, let them cool completely. Then transfer the eggs to an airtight container. They can stay good in the fridge for up to 5 days. 
  • Freeze: If you freeze cooked eggs, they’ll taste best within 3 months of putting them in the freezer. 

Variations

  • Veggies: For additional flavor and color, you can add diced vegetables to the muffin cups. Green peppers, bell pepper, yellow onion, or green onion would taste great. Add carefully so that you don’t break the yolks. Then bake it all together.  
  • Seasonings: Another way to change up the flavor is by adding additional seasoning. Try adding red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy recipe. You could also add paprika, onion powder, or everything bagel seasoning.
  • Cheese: Try sprinkling shredded cheese like cheddar cheese, Monterey jack, provolone, pepper jack, Swiss, or mozzarella cheese on top before baking.
  • Bacon: Fry up a few bacon strips before baking the eggs. Once cooked on both sides, remove them from heat and cool. Then you can crumble the bacon into bits. Add the over the eggs, and bake.
  • Sausage: Cook breakfast sausage in a pan before starting the recipe. Use your spatula to break apart the sausage as it cooks, and divide the sausage over the eggs. Anytime you add extra ingredients to the top, be careful you don’t break the yolk.
