Tara Miller’s pre-made breakfast egg muffins (Photo, Tara Miller).
The back-to-school morning rush is upon us. And these pre-made egg muffins are perfect for the occasion.
With the right balance of protein and fat, which gets you to lunch with level energy and a clear head, these bite-sized concoctions are flavourful, vegetable-packed and can be made in very little time. The best part is you can make them in a big batch on Sunday night, storing them in the fridge and reheating before running out the door in the morning.
I chose spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese and chives to add to my eggs, but the possibilities are endless. You can use any vegetables, herbs or cheese you have on hand.
Tip:Serve with toast, or sliced avocado.
