Best Ingredients and Customization Options

Start with the basics: eggs, a splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Then, toss in your preferred add-ins—think sautéed spinach, bell peppers, cooked sausage, diced tomatoes, or shredded cheese.

For effortless and even veggie dicing, use a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for consistent results and lightning-fast prep. Each muffin can feature a unique flavor combo, so everyone in your kitchen gets a breakfast they’ll love.

They’re super easy to reheat—just pop in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, and breakfast is ready!
