Cheddar Broccoli Egg Muffins

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

These Cheddar Broccoli Egg Muffins are cheesy, flavorful, and so easy to make! They're the perfect make-ahead breakfast, freezer-friendly, and great on the go!

  • Total Time45 minutes
  • Yield12 muffins 1x
  • DietVegetarian

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 head broccoli (2 cups when chopped)
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1-2 tbsp za’atar or mixed herbs
  • A small knob of butter (for greasing the muffin pan, or spray cooking oil)
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar, loosely packed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a muffin pan for 12 muffins.
  2. Cut off the stem of the broccoli and cut the florets into small bite-size pieces.
  3. Steam broccoli on the stove for 5-8 minutes. You can skip this stem but it helps make the broccoli softer. Allow the broccoli to cool for 5-10 minutes on a plate as you prep the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Whisk the eggs together with sea salt, black pepper, and za’atar or mixed herbs. Set aside.
  5. Use a knob of butter to grease your muffin pan or spray it with cooking oil. I prefer butter because it doesn’t pool on the bottom.
  6. Add the broccoli to the muffin pan, top with chopped red onion, and cheddar cheese.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup almost to the top.
  8. Bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes or until golden. The muffins will rise quite a bit in the oven but will fall again once you take them out.
  9. Enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

Storing - Once the muffins have cooled down completely, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Reheating - Reheat your refrigerated egg muffins in the oven at 350F (175C) on a small baking sheet for 10 minutes or until warmed through. Defrost frozen egg muffins overnight in the fridge before reheating or warm them up from frozen in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
