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
