It's easy to make delicious Egg Muffins with your choice of fillings, including veggies, meat or cheese. Meal prep the muffins for an on-the-go breakfast during the week!
Whisk the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt and black pepper together in a medium bowl.
Combine the fillings of your choice. (See the notes below for various filling options.)
Spray a 12 capacity non-stick muffin tin generously with cooking spray, or line each cup with paper liners and spray the inside of the liners.
Place the optional additions of your choice in the bottom of each muffin tin, filling them about halfway full.
Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tins, either using a container with a spout for pouring, or using a ladle with a spout. Fill the muffin tins almost all of the way full, but they should not easily spill out when transferring them to the oven.
Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Use a small knife around the edges to remove the egg muffins and serve immediately or store for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

The egg muffins will stay good in the refrigerator stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat the muffins, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds. This will keep them moist.
You can freeze the egg muffins for up to 3 months. Once the egg muffins have cooled completely, wrap each one in a piece of plastic wrap, then add all of them to a large freezer-safe zipper bag. To reheat frozen egg muffins, unwrap them from the plastic, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 60 seconds, or until warm.
You can make these egg muffins whole30 approved, by swapping traditional dairy milk with almond milk. No cheese can be added to the filling, but you can add bacon and veggies.
To prevent browning on the bottom of the muffins, set the metal muffin tin on a baking sheet before placing it in the oven.
