Eggs. It’s what’s for breakfast pretty much every single day at my house. I eat eggs every morning because I love to start my day with some protein, and my kids eat scrambled eggs most days too along with cereal or yogurt. After making the same scrambled eggs for the 10th day in a row, I decided we needed to shake up our breakfast routine and try something new. I whipped up these fun breakfast egg muffins in just minutes for a fresh take on a classic recipe. These egg cups are like hand held omelettes, and best of all, you can make a large batch and eat them all week long for the perfect grab and go breakfast.

This recipe starts with the eggs, which I blend to smooth perfection with my Braun Multiquick 7 Hand Blender. Let me just tell you, this hand blender is amazing. It comes with a variety of attachments and the handle even plugs into an included food processor bowl to give you maximum flexibility and creativity in the kitchen. This blender is perfect for both the advanced chef and for people that are just learning to cook, I’m definitely going to be purchasing some for wedding gifts! Braun is known worldwide for their multitude of products, and this new household line is the first time that Braun kitchen appliances have been available in North America since 2008. The company has done a lot of market research to create appliances that are intuitive and contain features that simplify work in the kitchen. This hand blender features the world’s first Smart Speed technology where you can control the speed of the blender with just a squeeze of the blender’s trigger.

This hand blender cuts down on prep time for this recipe because you can whip up a dozen (or more!) eggs in just seconds. I stir a combination of cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese and cooked spinach into the eggs along with some seasoning, then bake the eggs in muffin cups to create these hand held delights.

You can use fresh or frozen spinach for these breakfast egg muffins, just make sure that you’ve squeezed all of the excess water out of the spinach so that your eggs don’t get watery. You can customize these egg cups to your liking by switching up the ingredients – instead of ham, try bacon, or use sauteed mushrooms in lieu of spinach. Regardless of how you serve them up, it’s a breakfast that’s as effortless to make as it is fun to eat.

You can either line your muffin pans with paper liners, or simply spray the cups with cooking spray; I’ve done it both ways with success. I like to serve these egg muffins with a sprinkling of chopped tomatoes on top for added color and nutrition. The egg muffins will keep in the fridge for a few days, so you can make a batch in advance and then heat them up when you’re ready to eat. I’ve included a video to demonstrate how easy they are to make!
