Reviews
Egg muffins are my new go-to breakfast on the run (used to be a hard boiled egg). So far, this is my favorite recipe. I made 6, not 12, and could heat one as I poured my coffee. All week “instant” breakfast with protein.
Did not have chili peppers, but added cheddar cheese and leftover cooked zucchini from last night’s dinner. My son topped his with jarred cheese sauce. Easy and delicious!
Easy! Great recipe to make when I have too many fresh eggs. Next time I plan to freeze them…they didn’t make it to the freezer this time
It was very good and very easy to make.
simple yet delicious recipe! went so fast I couldn’t take a picture! I made it exactly like recipe states! thank you for the recipe!
I made 2 batches of these for a work potluck. I used turkey sausage, added a bit of milk for fluffiness, and topped them with shredded cheddar. Absolutely everyone loved them!
Great recipe. Hit with the kids. I added some cheddar cheese.
It is very tasty, made it just as is except I had to bake a little longer.
I left out the onions and Chile’s but added bacon bits. A touch dry. Could maybe use some butter or oil or other fat.
Came out really nice, excellent for on the run.
So good! I used andouille sausage and a little hatch chilies and some chopped onion. Super easy and also very cute.
If I make this again, I think that I would and much more spice, a little bland for my personal taste!
In spite of spraying the muffin tins generously, they severely stuck. Cleaning that up was a chore. Gonna try something different next time. Didn’t have green chiles, subbed bell pepper. Used 1 lb of sausage.
I really like this recipe. I used hot sausage, almost the whole can of green chilis and threw in some shredded cheese. Very good flavor! Husband and son approved.
I made these muffins by the recipe. They were OK, but not great. They were too dense. I agree with another reviewer that they need more milk or something to fluff them up a bit. Perhaps a little day-old bread would help them also. I put most of them in the freezer and we will eat them but I won’t make them again.
I doubled the amount of sausage on accident and it turned out better than I ever expected!! great recipe thank you!
So easy, yummy, and versatile! Made as instructed and they were a huge hit with all ages!
Like other reviewers, I found these to be a little bland. The only changes that I made, were that I used 10 eggs and about 1/4 cup whole milk, and that I used the whole can of drained green chiles. I also sauteed the onions with the sausage, once the sausage was cooked. My little man enjoyed them, but I think that next time I will add some cheese and see if that helps.
Delicious and versatile!
Even my 8 and 11 year old loved these! We are trying to eat more protein in our house and need something quick to eat during the morning rush. I made these according to the recipe just added a little cheese and a sprinkle of garlic and onion powder. I made half the batch without the chilies for the kids. Everyone was very happy and I will be making these again and again. Quick note, next time I will sautee the onions with the sausage. Also, add the sausage to the pan and sprinkle with cheese before pouring the egg mixture on top. Next time I will add diced peppers to get more veggies in.
My wife made these. They were delicious and pretty easy to make. We used scrambled eggs, and wife changed the seasoning a bit, but I thought it was really well done and stores really well which is good because we make our keto food on Sunday to last the week. Loved the idea and the execution!
