Serving: These egg muffins are delicious on their own or paired with fresh fruit, toast, or a side salad. They’re also great in a lunchbox for a midday protein boost.
Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 30–45 seconds or warm them in a low oven. You can also freeze them for longer storage—up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or defrost in the microwave before heating.
Variants
Meat Lover’s Muffins: Add cooked, crumbled sausage, bacon bits, or shredded chicken to the vegetable mix for extra protein.

Dairy-Free: Skip the cheese and use a plant-based milk option like almond or oat milk. The muffins will still be fluffy and full of flavor.
Herb-Infused: Add fresh chopped parsley, basil, or chives for an aromatic twist.
