There are many versions of these floating around the internet but with these, I have added root hash browns from Cascadian Farms to the bottom to form a mini crust. First, you cook the root hash browns according to the package then press them down into a muffin pan. Then cook in the oven until golden brown before adding in the egg mixture on top.
Now for the egg mixture. Get creative here! I added in spinach, mushroom, and onions that I had leftover in my freezer. You can add whatever you like! Cheese-good! Meat-good! (if you love FRIENDS like we do you will totally get that! LOL!) I went with 6 eggs (I use Vital Farms
– please go for organic or local whenever possible) and got about 8 muffins. You can add more eggs or veggies to bulk up the recipe.
Wondering what to pair with them to make sure that you are satisfied through lunch? Some options that I like are avocado (good fats) make it into avocado toast – yum! Spreading hummus on top of the muffins is a great way to enjoy them too. I love to pair with fruit – berries are my go-to as they are the lowest in sugar and just taste delish. I usually eat 2 muffins but if you are not that hungry in the mornings you can have 1 since you are adding sides to the meal.
Finally, these are great for meal prep! So no excuses that you have nothing ready for breakfast. I take these to work all the time. Setting yourself up for a successful day will help you reach your health goals!
