Ingredients for Breakfast Spinach Egg Muffins

Like most of my egg cups recipes, this one is fairly straight forward to make and includes a few ingredients, including:

• Eggs
• Basil
• Spinach
• Tomatoes
• Bell Pepper (any color)
• Cheese

Substitutions for Egg Breakfast Muffins

If you’re not a fan of spinach, tomato or bell peppers, here are a few ideas on ingredients you can use instead:

• Broccoli
• Asparagus
• Onions
• Zucchini
• Mushrooms

Sausage Egg Breakfast Muffins

If you’re the type of person that likes to add sausage to your egg muffins for that added boost of protein, then by all means add sausage to this recipe.

It doesn’t take much sausage as this recipe only yields six muffins.

Brown a quarter pound of sausage and add it to your muffin tins when you add the other ingredients per the instructions below.

Baking Eggs in Silicone Cups

I’ve mentioned these super helpful silicone cups in previous recipes and there’s good reason!

Most likely, if you use non-stick spray, your egg cups will likely stick to your pan.

I recommend picking up a half dozen of these Silicone Baking Cups or even a full silicone muffin tray so you don’t have to worry about prying your egg bites out of the tin or cleaning up a huge mess.

If you don’t have silicone baking cups handy and you want to make this recipe stat, then try spraying paper cups to keep your tin clean!

Can You Freeze Egg Muffins?

If you’re the type of person who likes to bake several batches at a time and freeze meals to use for future use, then you’re in luck!

These Spinach Egg Muffins are perfect for busy mornings so they can be easily made ahead of time, frozen and reheated for breakfast when you need something quick and easy!

Here are the steps you’ll need to take to successfully preserve a batch or two for future meals:

Step 1 – Freeze The Egg Muffins

If you happen to own a vacuum sealer, then you’re going to have the best luck in preserving your egg bites. 

If you do have a sealer machine, make sure you freeze your muffins overnight before you vacuum seal. Otherwise, you’ll likely squish your muffins if you seal them fresh.

If you don’t have a vacuum sealer, allow your egg bites to cool completely in the refrigerator prior to freezing them.

Add the egg cups to a sealable bag and try to remove as much air as possible before sealing the bag.

Place them in your freezer and keep them there until future use.

Step 2 – Defrost & Reheat Egg Muffins

The night before you want to eat your egg muffins, take two out of the freezer and allow them to thaw out in the refrigerator overnight.

The next morning, place your egg muffins in the microwave and reheat in 30 second intervals, checking in between each interval to see if they are warm enough as every microwave is different.

Most likely, 30 seconds will be sufficient, especially if they are fully defrosted from the night before.

Can I Have Spinach Egg Muffins on the 17 Day Diet?

If you’re trying to lose weight with the 17 Day Diet, you can most definitely have these egg muffins on all cycles. 

If you’re on cycle 2 or 3, you can also add a little pork sausage to the recipe, too!

Egg Cups on the Kickstart Diet

If the 17 Day Kickstart Diet is your current weight loss program, you can also benefit from these spinach egg cups.  You can have these egg bites starting on the 4-Day Soak Up Phase when eggs are allowed.

The only thing you’ll need to omit at this point, or until you get to the 10-Day Stabilize Phase, is the cheese.

If you’re not sure which foods are allowed during each phase, make sure you take a look at my 17 Day Kickstart Diet Food List.
