    Vegetable, Ham and Cheese Egg Muffins - easy and delicious breakfast idea! Huge hit with kids! Gluten free and keto diet friendly.

    Move over cereal! There is a new breakfast in town!

    After the success of my Breakfast Omelet Cheesy Bread, that our kids love so much and ask for often (that or pancakes!), I went on a search for another fun breakfast idea that would be pleasing to kids. And I think I found it!

    Enter Egg Muffins!

    Super easy and quick way to make eggs for breakfast, that doesn't require you standing by the stove and stirring. These muffins got thumbs up from everyone in the family!

    I was able to sneak in veggies in these muffins which is always a plus. Our kids are great about eating veggies (definitely a big plus of working at home and homeschooling) but spinach is so often hard for them to enjoy. Knowing how they loved it in our Cheesy Spinach Pasta, I knew that if I stir it in with other ingredients and bake into fun muffins - it will all be happily gobbled up!

    If you have picky eaters in your family, or want to jazz up your breakfast - I highly recommend trying these egg muffins. You can use cooked breakfast sausage in place of the ham or skip the ham for a meat-free version. You can use different veggies (think corn, even broccoli).

    Few notes about this recipe:

    - You need to grease your muffin pan, to make sure the muffins won't stick to it.

    - The muffins will rise high, souffle-type, but will go down as they cool. I filled each muffin cup with 1 tablespoon of veggie and ham mixture and ¼ cup of the egg mixture. That pretty much filled the cup, yet the muffins didn't overflow.

    - You can use fresh or frozen spinach for these muffins. I used frozen and thawed it before adding to the eggs.

    - These egg muffins can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. You can heat them up right before serving!
