Ingredients

Breakfast Egg Muffins

  • 7 large eggs
  • cup shredded cheddar cheese or any other yellow cheese
  • cup cottage
  • 2 ½ tablespoon cream cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Mushroom and Onion Filling

  • 1 cup half-moon sliced onion about 1 medium onion
  • 2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoon salted butter
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of black peeper

Breakfast Pizza Filling

  • ½ cup cubed mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced
  • pinch of oregano
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  • Grease a small muffin pan using butter, or spray it with cooking oil.
  • In your blender’s cup, add eggs, grated cheese, cottage, cream cheese and salt and blend for 1 minute, until all ingredients are well mixed.
  • For the mushroom and onion filling: using half tablespoon of butter, cook mushrooms in high heat on a skillet for 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve.
  • To caramelize the onions, heat the remaining butter on a heavy-bottom skillet or pan, cooking the onions on middle-low heat, until they’re soft and brown. It usually takes me 10 to 15 minutes. Stir from time to time, especially if using a thin-bottom pan to prevent burning.
  • For the breakfast pizza filling: mix cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes and oregano in a small bowl, stirring to combine the ingredients.
  • Mix the chosen filling with the egg mixture, stirring to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into the muffin pan, filling each one ⅔ full.
  • Bake for 25 minutes on 325° F, or until the tops and edges start to turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out without batter.
  • Wait 5 minutes before removing your breakfast egg muffins from the muffin pan.

Notes

Store them into your fridge, inside an airtight container. Wait for them to cool before storing.
