Scrambled Egg Muffins

ya know that's something I've never used for anything Sun-dried Tomatoes... no reason just really didn't know what to use them for. I think I even might have some.There are similar muffins in the Wheat Belly cookbook and those were delicious. I put home made crumbled turkey sausage, broccoli, sun dried tomatoes and cheese in mine, or any veggies that I have in the fridge really. Delicious and they freeze and reheat so well. I love my silicone pan, it makes cleaning much easier. Here in Canada you can buy the pans at Walmart or Canadian Tire.
Hey Santa! 
Better to get them still dry in a bag or the ones in a jar?

oh BTW... how'd the work breakfast brunch go with the mini muffins you took? Did everyone go ga-ga over them? lolI've made the occassional accidental omelette too. But when I go in trying to actually make an omlette, the egg gods always point and laugh at me.
I had a couple of the muffins left over today and I've frozen them. Im curious to see how well they reheat. I'll try one tomorrow. If they reheat well, I'm going to make a bunch of them to freeze.

They were really impressed with them. They were gone quickly. I also brought in fresh veggies and fruit, so they had a nice healthy breakfast. Yesterday, someone actually brought fried chicken for the breakfast potluck! It was good though.

^ mine popped right out after I loosened the edges with a butter knife and I was using muffin pans that are older than time. Maybe I used more spray on it. I'm going to buy one of those silicone muffin pans someone mentioned above and see how that works without spraying at all.
I bought him a new tray and I am getting myself a silicon one after Chrissy. I will take a photo of my dinner tomorrow night which will include a muffin.0 -
Silicone pans ordered and on their way! I'm getting the regular size, mini size and a loaf size.

I was a horrible omelette maker too until a few months ago, actually. I found the trick for me was a well-greased pan set over a little under medium heat, pouring in the egg and milk mixture, letting it cook and set some for a few minutes. THEN I add my chopped additions and cheeses (veggies & either 2% shredded cheddar or reduced fat feta). Now I cover the pan with a lid, let cook covered with lid till things look mostly set, but not quite, then take up the edge on one side with a small spatula and flip that half on top of the other, cover again for a few minutes and turns out awesome. Oh, and I use a small (8 inch?) pan. I tend to make 3 egg (2 whites and 1 egg) omelettes. With all the fillings it turns out to be good for 2 nice meal servings for a chick.
You've inspired me to have another go at making an omelette! Never tried the lid thing. I'll try it night. I'm either going to have a perfect omelette for dinner, or ramped up scrambled eggs!
OMG, it actually worked! I could have folded it over a little better, but it actually looks like an omelette. I must have been cooking at too high a temperature all these years, and never used a lid. Thanks so much for sharing your tips!
I added mushrooms, green onion, red bell pepper, turkey, provolone, and a little tomato.

^^ I just ordered them on Amazon, links below. They were Prime items, so I got them in 2 days.
mini muffin pan
full size muffin pan
loaf pan
Also, these pans are not ridgid. When transferring then to the oven you have to be careful, or put them on a cookie sheet.0 -
I've made these twice this week and love them. I usually make bacon and cheese omelettes with three eggs so I use the same amount of ingredients, add the required amount of milk, precook the bacon and tear it into pieces and divide evenly among three muffin spots instead of six.0

Yum! Great idea!0

I make similar things for breakfast except I use straight egg whites!! They freeze beautifully so I typically make a big batch the beginning of the week and that way in the morning I just toss a few in the microwave so I can have a protein & veggie packed easy breakfast.
Thank you for sharing your recipe! They look delicious!!0 -
treated myself to some silicone muffin pans, used them for the first time today. loved how they popped right out, did not love how they were not cooked all the way through. did anyone else experience this when they first started using silicone pans?0

NICE!!!0

I added an extra 5 minutes cook time and they were perfect. The instructions I received said that may need to be done.

i love these, i spray my tin with 1 cal spray and they just pop right out.
I add whatever i have on hand, asparagus, brocolli, chopped up mini sausage (the kids perperami style snacks!), tomatoes, spring onions, then a shaving of cheese on top...

These are brilliant! I have 2 muffins for breakfast and I never feel hungry in the morning.0

I made these a few years back when I was on my diet kick. I haven't tried recently, but I'm waiting to get myself some silicone muffin cups because I ruined a muffin tin previously. I think this time around I would add more veggies and canadian bacon or regular bacon. I like to get close to 30g of protein in at breakfast!0

Wanted the eggs until I saw the salad that was posted and now I want that instead lol0

Bump for later0

So giving the muffins ago tonight for breakfast tomorrow they look so yummy

Amazing idea! Will have to give this a try for an easy breakfast. Quick question: I don't have a microwave, do you think reheating these in the oven would cause them to dry out?0
-
Also glad someone shared the lid trick. My boyfriend taught me that one three years ago. I couldn't make an omelette before then either. Can't eat an omelette on the way to work though! I'm hoping someone can share some insight on oven reheating and then I'm totally making these babies on my next grocery trip because I'm currently out of eggs.0
