Breakfast – it’s a really important meal. We’ve heard that over and over, right?
Well, I completely agree . . . but I don’t necessarily always have the time to follow logical advice. There’s where this delicious, quick, and easy breakfast egg muffin recipe comes in!
Picture many of your favorite breakfast ingredients in one tasty little circle – and all you need to do is bake in a muffin tin.
You’ll get eight servings out of one round of baking these egg muffins, and that means about four breakfasts (more if you’re a light eater like myself)!
Once you try this breakfast egg muffin recipe, you’ll never go back to making eggs the “regular” way.
Weight Watchers Friendly
One thing I love about Weight Watchers Freestyle is that eggs are zero points! Therefore you can make this delicious breakfast recipe for 3 points per serving.
The way to keep the points down is by using reduced fat shredded cheese. You can also use 1 lb of raw, sweet Italian turkey sausage as a substitution for another high fat, high point sausage.
Yields 8 muffins (if you want them larger – make 6 instead!) Here’s what you’re going to need.
Ingredients
- Eggs – 6 large, at room temperature
- Sausage – 3/4 cup, cooked and broken into small pieces
- Bacon – 2 strips, cooked and chopped
- Green onions – 2 or 3 stalks, chopped finely
- Shredded cheese – 1/2 cup
- Smoked paprika – 1/2 tsp (or regular paprika)
- Garlic powder – 1/4 tsp
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- Butter or cooking spray (to grease the tin)
Store the muffins in an airtight container or ziploc bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also individually wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
To eat your muffins, microwave on high for 30-60 seconds to reheat one. Or for more, place them in a muffin tin and reheat in a 350ºF oven for about 10 minutes.

Breakfast Egg Muffins
This egg muffin recipe is SO easy! Yes, you can make a quick, ready-to-eat breakfast in a muffin tin. Perfect for busy families and working folks!
Ingredients
- 6 large egg(s) at room temperature
- 3/4 cup sausage, cooked and broken into small pieces
- 2 strips bacon, high quality, cooked and chopped
- 2 stalks green onion, chopped finely
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven 375ºF. Grease a muffin tin generously (or the muffins will stick) with oil and set aside.
- At this time, cook the bacon and sausage if necessary. Break into small pieces and cook until done over medium heat on the stove.
- Crack open the eggs in a bowl and whisk for couple of minutes. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Mix in the sausage pieces, bacon bits and chopped green onions. Fold in the shredded cheese.
- Pour the whisked egg into the prepared muffin pan about 4/5th of the way. Bake for 14-16 minutes until done.
- Remove from oven and let cool down a bit; use a paring knife or small spatula to ease the muffins out from the pan. Serve warm and refrigerate leftovers.
Notes
- Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds to reheat one muffin, or place them in a muffin tin and reheat in a 350ºF oven for about 10 minutes.
- You can also use regular paprika, I just happen to like the smoked.
