Savory Breakfast Muffins
Have you ever wished if you could whip up a filling breakfast that is healthy at the same time delicious? I know we all have! Just imagine baking some easy breakfast muffins that are so simple that if you cut and prep the veggies the night before I am sure it won't take no more than half an hour from prepping to baking these cute little muffins, or more like mini frittatas (if you fancy a fancy name! *wink*) But if you want the perfect frittata recipe do check here.
These are so delicious and easy to prepare that I am sure once you make these you are going to bake these at least once a week! Who doesn't like recipes that are quick and done in a jiffy?! Also, this is a great idea for a potluck breakfast. Done so easy and yet so yummy. As these are tiny and bite-sized, kids will love to have them for sure. Well, my daughter did! This is a mini package full of nutrients - proteins, carbs, dairy, veggies, and everything you want for a meal.
As parents, don't we always get clueless on a hustle bustle mornin, where you have so much to do yet little time to manage for a healthy yet nutricious meals for yourself and your little ones? Well, this is your answer to all your dilemma. The perfect lunch box solution! Recently I have been binge watcing this series on NETFLIX, where Nadiya, the famous chef-baker that hosts the show says that oven is your best friend when it comes to cooking food that are delicious, yet you have no time to toil in front of the stove. How true is that?! You just prep the dish, place it in the oven, do your chores and bam! You have your meal ready! Like Nadiya says, The sooner you realise the oven is your best friend in your kitchen, the easier your life is going to be and I second that! That is my mantra to easy cooking too.
Every time I open the oven to bring out the baked goodies it amazes me how easy and stress-free that was and how easily did I prepare my meal.
Now coming back to the recipe, the main ingredients in these muffins are broccoli, mushrooms, and cream cheese, you may add or omit any veggies or spices according to your choice. I have used Kiri cream cheese, you may use any cheese according to your preference like feta, etc. But if you are using feta cheese be careful when you add salt. Also, you may add soy sauce while sauteeing your veggies for a change, but here I am trying to keep it healthy. I have poured the egg mixture directly to the generously greased muffin pan. I'd suggest using muffin liners, if so add about 2 tbsp olive oil to the egg mixture.
As the saying goes, eat your breakfast like a king! This is a perfect breakfast as it has everything that needs to make you energetic all day round. Without further a-do, lets bake these and have breakfast like a king!
