How to Make Broccoli Cheddar Egg Muffins?

They are super easy to whip for a quick and delicious low-carb breakfast. Start by spraying a muffin pan with cooking spray

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray cooking spray in a muffin pan, set aside
• Cook broccoli just 2 minutes in boiling salted water, then pour broccoli into a colander placed in the sink, and let it drain well
• In a large bowl, use a whisk to beat the eggs until frothy
• Add the shredded cheese, broccoli, sea salt, pepper and stir to combine
• Spoon mixture into muffin tin until about ¾ full
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set

Variations to Egg Muffins:

Vegetables: mix and match your favorite veggies and toss in your eggs. Chop into small bite-size pieces so they fit nicely into the muffin eggs. Spinach, peppers, onions…

Protein: this is one option that is endless. Mix and match meats to really give your egg the exact flavor you want: bacon, ham, sausage…

Cheese: If you don’t love Cheddar or Feta cheese, pick something that you love, you can substitute Parmesan cheese, it is delicious.

If you want more cheese, top the eggs with some shredded Parmesan for a crunchy cheese top

It is all pretty simple. Think of a reinvented way of enjoying an omelet. All the stuff you like in your omelet in a muffin form instead. My fillings are a general guideline so feel free to add whatever you like.
