Ham and Cheese Egg Muffin Cups
Baking eggs into muffin cups makes portioning almost automatic, and it's an easy way to get a classic ham and cheese omelet into a grab-and-go format. These hold up well in the fridge and don't need much more than a quick reheat.
A muffin tin turns scrambled eggs into individual portions without needing to measure anything out later, which is part of why this is one of my easiest breakfasts to prep. Ham and cheddar are a classic combination that doesn't need much else added.
These reheat quickly, whether in the microwave or straight from the fridge at room temperature, which makes them a good grab-and-go option on busy mornings. Bell pepper adds a little color and crunch to what's otherwise a pretty classic combination.
The recipe card has the full ingredient breakdown and bake time for all ten portions. Let the muffin cups cool before dividing them into containers, then refrigerate what you'll eat within four days and freeze the rest. They're good reheated or eaten cold straight from the fridge.
