These delicious Savory Egg Muffins are great for breakfast or mid morning snack. They will keep you energized and satisfied through the morning.
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful break. I certainly did even though it was brutally cold here in Minnesota during the Christmas holidays. The windchill on Saturday, December 30th went down to -38˚F (-39˚C) and this sub zero temperature is supposed to continue right through to the weekend…brrr!
Such cold weather calls for comfort food and so I am going to start the year with these Savory Egg Muffins. I actually made these on Sunday for breakfast. We each had two of these freshly baked muffins hot out of the oven before heading to church. They were warm, comforting, and quite delicious.
Initially, I was planning to use kale and mushrooms in these Savory Egg Muffins but the cold weather discouraged me from going to the grocery store. I know I’ll have to go at some point but I am sitting it out for now. So, I used the bell pepper and some cherry tomatoes I had in the refrigerator instead. Glad to say they turned out beautifully and we enjoyed them a lot.
