The Kitchn: Make a week's worth of protein-packed breakfast in 30 minutes
Want to make your mornings a whole lot easier? Of course you do. Well, a batch of easy egg muffins is the answer. Loaded with savory breakfast sausage, earthy mushrooms and spinach, these make-ahead muffins are for people who love eggs and crave a satisfying breakfast that will get them through the morning. They're also great for anyone in need of a one-handed morning meal they can eat on the go or dig into when they get to their desk.
Ghee is the secret to a more satisfying egg muffin
While a splash of cream and pat of butter are often the ticket to creamy, rich eggs, you won't find either in these paleo-friendly breakfast muffins. Instead, you'll whisk melted ghee into the egg. Remember, fat equals flavor, and it also equals satisfaction. Ghee makes for a heartier egg muffin that'll fill you up, so don't skip this ingredient. The ghee also lends a little extra body to the eggs for a richer texture.
These grab-and-go egg muffins are just one more example of how batch cooking makes mealtime so much easier. They're super portable, and will last in the fridge for around three days and in the freezer for up to three months.
