Eggs in a Muffin Tin
I love it when the family can all sit around the table for breakfast. It’s rare, but I try to make it happen once a week. Over the years, I have found that it’s better to keep it simple and serving breakfast that is easy to throw together like these banana muffins, make-ahead french toast sticks, and refrigerated Cinnabon roll – waffles.
These muffin-tin eggs are right there at the top of the list for quick and easy. They are one of the favorite ways for my kids to eat eggs. They are like mini omelets without all of the work an omelet requires. There’s no fuss or mess. You can customize egg muffins and pop them in the oven to bake.
