breakfast egg muffins
Eggs are one of the most versatile breakfast foods. But few of us can spare the time to cook them in the morning. These egg muffins are designed to be cooked ahead of time and then grabbed on the go. Egg muffins can be kept for one week in the refrigerator. Microwave them for 30 seconds to reheat. Just add a variety of goodies to your tin - maybe 6 with bacon, onion, and cheese, and 6 with spinach, mushrooms, and ham. You can't mess this up! In the morning, grab a couple from your Ziploc, nuke them, and away you go! No unhealthy trip to Mickey D's.
