Some of my favorite people descended on Palm Springs this weekend to watch one of our best friends get married on Sunday night! It was such a blast to be reunited with all of our friends, and the perfect 75 degree days was such a tease for Summer! My friend Michelle and I drove out from Los Angeles, and she was in charge of road trip music (she’s a talented musician/producer), and I was in charge of food. Our hotel in Palm Springs even had a little kitchen so I prepped lots of yummy snacks, including these veggie egg muffins as a healthy breakfast!
I have a few different versions of egg muffins on my blog already, but I love coming back to the original veggie and egg. These egg muffins are keto, paleo, and Whole30 compliant. It is a simple recipe, full of healthy and flavorful sautéed vegetables and fluffy egg. You can completely customize the filling based on what you and your family love. I have been on a spinach and mushroom kick lately, so I loaded these egg muffins up with orange pepper, purple onion, spinach, and mushrooms.
I also chose to keep these vegetarian, but they are excellent with meat and cheese mixed in, especially if you are following a keto diet. I have also used one of these veggie egg muffins as an egg puck in a breakfast sandwich layered with turkey bacon, avocado, and yogurt cheese, and it was de-licious!
I love recipes like this because they are freezer-friendly and reheat beautifully. I was able to make these egg muffins the weekend before we left, and kept them frozen. We reheated them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds and topped them with guacamole for a filling but light start to the day. They are great to have stocked in the freezer for an easy grab-and-go breakfast any day of the week.

PinDescription
These easy egg muffins are full of flavor and healthy veggies. They are freezer-friendly and an easy grab-and-go breakfast. This egg muffin recipe is paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, whole30, and keto friendly.
Ingredients
- 1–2 Tbsp ghee or avocado oil
- 7 large eggs
- ¼ cup water or non-dairy milk
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1 cup chopped bell pepper
- 3 big handfuls of fresh spinach leaves
- ¼ cup parsley leaves, chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- a few dashes of hot sauce, optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350F degrees. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the ghee or avocado oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté the veggies until tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach leaves one handful at a time. Let the leaves wilt before adding the next handful. Add parsley and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow veggies to cool slightly.
- In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, beat together the eggs, water or non-dairy milk, and hot sauce, if desired.
- Evenly distribute the veggie mixture in the 12 muffin wells, then do the same with the eggs.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. You can be sure the muffins are cooked through when you gently tap the center with your finger, and it bounces back. There should be minimal to no liquid visible.
- Allow egg muffins to cool slightly before trying to remove from the pan to cool completely. I find it easiest to run a spatula around the outside of the egg muffin for an easy release. Store in an air tight container in the fridge or freezer
- Reheat egg muffins for 30-60 seconds in the microwave, if cold or frozen.
Notes
This recipe is completely customizable. You can use different kinds of veggies, or even add meat and cheese. You’ll want about 1-2 cups of filling per dozen egg muffins.
