Egg Muffin Recipe with Peppers and Kale

Egg Muffin Recipe with Peppers, Kale, and Cheddar

Written by Becky

During this month of unprocessed eating so far my breakfasts have mainly consisted of oatmeal or granola until I decided to try making this Egg Muffin Recipe. I was inspired by Egg Muffins on Kalyn’s Kitchen blog as well as many recipes for Egg Muffins from the trendy Paleo Diet. Really the possibilities for these little breakfast muffins are limitless and the best part is, they are full of protein and completely unprocessed. With the addition of spicy peppers and kale you also get kicked up flavor and added nutrients like vitamin c, beta carotene and calcium. And of course a little cheese doesn’t hurt either.

Egg Muffin Recipe with Peppers and Kale

These muffins can be made prepared and baked in less than 45 minutes and provide breakfast for a week! Grab two of these on your way out the door in the morning or reheat with a cup of black coffee for a perfect start to the day. A few tips for this recipe: use parchment muffin liners if you can find them, that way you don’t have to spray the liners and the eggs won’t stick.

Laziz Garlic Spread and Egg Muffin Recipe

Also, I used a garlic condiment from Laziz Foods, Toum, to season the eggs a bit, but you can also use minced garlic. If you’re in Salt Lake, you must try this garlic spread, you can find it at the Farmer’s Market and other Farmer’s Markets around town. I’ve really been adding it to pretty much everything lately.

And another note: if you don’t have kale or a spicy pepper lying around, use whatever vegetables you have on hand. Although I loved these vegetarian, with the spicy peppers and kale, next time I think I’ll try adding some bacon or spicy breakfast sausage as well! What’s would be in your ideal Egg Muffin??!

  1. These are a regular in our breakfast rotation (for the grown-ups, at least) because it is such a easy way to eat eggs in the morning. I like to bake them in silicone muffin cups because they slide out so easily and I can re-use the cups; I did them straight in the muffin tin one time and oh, sticking! Eggs really are like culinary glue.

    • Julia, I was so glad when I found the parchment muffin liners since I don’t have silicone muffins cups. I figured these would be pretty sticky. When you make them what ingredient combo is your favorite??

  2. Is the “whiskey all of the eggs together” a “Freudian slip”? 😉 (Please don’t correct it – it made me smile and I’ll bet it will others.)

  3. I’ve made a version of these w/o any flour but added cottage cheese for a more quiche-like muffin. Have used a whole host of veggies, including spinach, green peas, zuccini…. my kids love them. I’m psyched to try w flour and add a bit of umph to it.

  4. I am so glad I found this receip I eat a lot of eggs for breakfast, but don’t always have a lot of time to prepare my breakfast.
    It’s probably not perfect as your I skip the flour, but close enough. I love that I can freeze and reheat.
    Thank you.

  5. I just got a silicon 12-count muffin pan for my birthday and this recipe will officially break them in. I love the memory of having them at Asher’s baby shower! And yay for Kale being on June’s season guide. I may also sneak in some peas. 🙂

    • YAY!! They are easy to make too and I think they are actually supposed to be made in a silicone pan but I just didn’t have one so you’re in luck!
