Eggs in a muffin tin?

[Night Elf]

Is there a recipe for cooking mini-breakfasts in a muffin tin? I remember something about eggs. I'm thinking casserole stuff only muffin sized. It would be nice to make something I can freeze in individual servings.

I like these:

I love doing this.  I scramble the eggs with some sausage, red peppers and onions and cook in a muffin tin.

 

This recipe calls for turkey sausage but I just use whatever sausage I feel like using.

 

They freeze nicely.

There are a million variations.

 

This one uses hash browns: https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/bacon-breakfast-cupcakes/bf30e085-759e-476d-82d9-8ae5f8c19bcc

 

This one uses Bisquick or a homemade version: https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/impossibly-easy-mini-breakfast-sausage-pies/daeffa4b-355d-466f-b712-86388de26b3f

 

The Bisquick one with ham or bacon was our standard when we were in the Bahamas fishing and diving. I bought Bisquick at a store near the airport, and then used eggs, meat, milk, onion, and cheese from the tiny grocery store on the island we went to. I'd take silicon muffin holders and make a full batch for 2-3 days.

Do I have to cook these in liners?

[JudoMom]

For the ham and eggs cups, I use a non-stick spray.

[FriedClams]

Spray really, really well. Oh my. I've had some stick and it was so bad we threw out the pan.

If you aren't tied to the muffin tins, breakfast burritos freeze well.

I bought silicone muffin pans for these. They unmold so much easier. I do a big batch every week or so for breakfasts.

[Storygirl]

I should try a silicone pan (thought I'd have to buy one).  I made some once, and they were yummy, but cleaning the pan was such a horror that I haven't tried it since.

[Night Elf]

Ok I guess I better look into silicon liners. I don't want to hurt the muffin tins I have. I use them a lot.

[Element]

I have never, ever had luck doing this. No amount of spray keeps eggy things from sticking, even in a brand new nonstick pan. I guess i need to try a silicon pan. 

[Dmmetler]

Silicone liners work, too, but can be a pain to wash because they are so light they bounce all over the dishwasher. I have both, and the liners were good, but the complete pan is better for the eggs (and things like mini-lasagna cups).

For the ham and eggs cups, I use a non-stick spray.

I do the ham and egg cups like JudoMom linked and they don’t stick if you use non-stick spray. Maybe because the ham is lining the cup, not the egg? Anyway, they’re my favorite because I like more of a hard-boiled type egg than the scrambled egg versions.

We make a simple egg and biscuit baked in a muffin tin.

 

You will need a roll of refrigerator biscuits (the small “value†kind that come in a 4pack, 10 small biscuits in each tube. Not the Grands) And 10 large eggs.

 

Spray your muffin tin really well with Pam. Use your fingers to smoosh each biscuit into a flat circle. Place one smooshed biscuit in each muffin tin and press it to the bottom and around the sides. Crack one large egg into each biscuit.

 

Bake at 425 for about 15 min. the edges of the biscuit will be browned and when you wiggle the pan, the eggs don’t slosh around.... sounds strange, but it makes sense when you see them.

 

Pop out each biscuit by running a butter knife around the edge. Add a little salt and pepper and enjoy! I like them best when I time it right and the yoke is still runny.

 

You could freeze and warm in the microwave.
