These six ingredient breakfast ham and egg muffins require less than 10 minutes of prep and make for a quick grab-and-go bite for busy days!

Three Breakfast Ham and Egg Muffins stacked on top of each other.

I was in serious need of mixing up our breakfast routine.  No lie.  Hubby and I were having smoothies for a long time, I mean months. Our morning routine changed, so we switched things up a bit with granola bars (and coffee, of course).  That’s getting a little old now so enter these ultra easy homemade breakfast ham and egg muffins!  I made another version with egg white that I’ll share with you guys in a little bit (gotta have options, am I right?)

Homemade Breakfast Ham and Egg Muffins

When I say these breakfast ham and egg muffins are easy, I mean it.  They can easily be whipped up in under 10 minutes and the longest part is waiting for them to bake. If you want to leave them vegetarian, omit the ham and maybe add a little more bell pepper or even some broccoli cut into small florets. It ain’t rocket science 😉

Easy Make Ahead Breakfast – Scrambled Egg Muffins

The thing that I love most about these ham and egg muffins is that I can make a batch of them ahead of time to enjoy throughout the week.  They should be enjoyed within 2- 3 days of making and, if not, they can be frozen and reheated in the oven or microwave for an easy, satisfying breakfast.

When preparing these egg muffins, I filled the liners to the top.  Because there’s whole egg in there, they rise a bit and are nice and fluffy.

These are perfect handheld bites for busy mornings.  I’m sure we will be enjoying them for the next little while until it’s onto something else 😉

For the next month, though, it will be no ham in mine.  Remember when I spoke of ‘meatless March’ the other day? Basically, I’d go the whole month (yes, the whole month) of March eating only vegetarian meals. Well, I get a text from my mother the other night—>

‘I read on your blog you may do a meatless March.  I’ll take that challenge with you if you want to :)”

Thinking to myself – hmmmmm…..now, this is getting real.

A whole month without wings, charcuterie, or steak?! 

“Ok, what the heck…let’s DO this!”

So, folks, this little yummy ham and cheese muffin is off limits for me until April, but you can eat an extra one for me, ok 😉 ?

Wish me luck in my meatless March escapades.  I’ll try to share how I’m doing with you guys so stay tuned.  Tell me, what’s your fave vegetarian recipe?

Until next time, take care and chit chat again soon!

Course Breakfast
Cuisine American, Canadian
Keyword egg muffins, breakfast recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes

Author Girl Heart Food

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs - I used large
  • 3/4 cup cooked ham -diced small
  • 1 bell pepper -diced small (about a cup)
  • 2/3 cup cheddar cheese -shredded
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce -your favourite
  • Pam baking spray -to grease muffin liners

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.  Place muffin liners (parchment variety works best) in muffin tin and spray with Pam.  Lay to one side. 
    NOTE: Depending on what type of liners you use, they may stick to the muffins (so you'll have to take your time removing).  Otherwise,  you can either use a silicon muffin pan OR (the EASIEST way) is to pour the egg mixture DIRECTLY into the muffin pan that has been greased with butter or baking spray.  Let them cool a few minutes after making and gently run an offset spatula or knife around them to loosen.
  • In a bowl, whisk eggs.  Add remainder of ingredients to combine.  Distribute among muffin liners, filling up, and bake 28-30 minutes or until eggs are cooked through.  Enjoy!

    I hope your meatless March is going well! I need to shake up my breakfast routine- maybe I’ll make this without the ham!

    I have made something like this before, but it stuck all over my paper liners. I think if I make something like this again, I will use my silicone liners. But I LOVE the sound of this. Perfect for leftover ham!

    Real talk – I’m allllll over this recipe. My body rejects sweet foods in the morning. If I skip protein and eat something sugary, I literally feel like crap for the remainder of the day. I need to eat protein and save the sweets for later. I also prep the majority of my meals ahead of time so I love the fact this recipe is freezer friendly! This recipe is right up my alley!

    I totally agree Dawn. Sometimes you just need to mix up things for breakfast. I love egg muffins! They are so easy and convenient. I usually make a batch and enjoy them for breakfasts or lunches during the week. Good luck with your meatless March! When I go meatless, I usually love a vegetarian chili or plant-based creamy soup! Can’t wait to see what you cook up this month! Have a great weekend!

    It’s so funny how we can end up eating the same thing for breakfast every day! For us it’s cereal, but I mean, it’s supposed to be the most important meal of the day so you’d think we could get a little more creative! These look amazing and perfect for rushed mornings. Good luck with Meatless March! One day down, 30 to go! (I did not mean for that to sound so depressing :))

    Agreed, it is so easy to fall into breakfast ruts! I have either yogurt or oatmeal probably 95% of the time, at least during the week! But egg cups like this are a fantastic way to change it up, especially while getting more protein. Love this recipe!

    Good luck, Dawn! You can do it! I love veggies, but going completely meatless would be so hard for me. These egg muffins look so good and exactly what I need to be making for myself to grab and go in the morning. I love that they are easy to freeze, that way, I can make a big batch and make it last a while!

    You got this Meatless March thing! With all the delicious vegetarian options out there you’ll have no trouble at all! And I love that you could even make these muffins work for you. Adding some extra veggies will just make them more delicious :). These are such a brilliant idea and I think I need to make them on Sunday to munch on for breakfast next week!

Still have an hour before I need to serve breakfast today and we do have ham in the fridge…OK, gotta go crack some eggs, you made me hungry:)

    What a fun idea to create savory muffins for breakfast! I agree that the breakfast routine can become, well, a bit of a routine. This is a great way to mix it up…and it can all be prepped in advance, too. It’s like omelets in bite-size form! Best of luck with the meatless March endeavor. I’ll make sure to eat enough meat for both of us. 🙂 Hope you have a great rest of the week, my friend!
