I saw these muffins on King Arthur’s site last week. I thought they sounded interesting because they are made with scrambled eggs! I’ve never made muffins with scrambled eggs; I just had to give them a try.
The muffins were great. They are packed full of cheese, bacon and scrambled eggs. These muffins are quick and easy to make, plus they freeze well. They are a great breakfast on-the-go! If you aren’t a fan of bacon, feel free to switch it out with sausage or ham. You could also add some peppers, onions or whatever else you like!

I have made this recipe several times and really enjoy it. Thanks for sharing it.
and do the scrambled eggs need to be cooked before hand??
4 of the eggs are scrambled and mixed in the muffin batter
To clarify – the eggs are scrambled, cooked in a frying pan then added to the batter? I hope that's right as that's how I made them. They came out delicious! I threw in some sauteed onion and extra bacon. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
if i wanted to add onions or bell pepper do i cook them first, or throw em in raw into the mixture and cook normally as the recipe says
I would cook them first, but either way should be fine.
Made these for a snow day breakfast. Very yummy and filling. More of a biscuit texture. Thanks!
I hope these will tempt my kids to eat breakfast! š
Sarah V – I just pop them in the microwave.
What would be the best way to reheat these from fridge or frozen?

I've got some in the oven right now, can't wait to see how they turn out!
This will be a great thing to make and have in the fridge or freezer for a quick grab on a busy morning, can't wait to try them.
These sound amazing. Too bad it is so late at night- otherwise I might be tempted to make them now!
can i get a calorie count on this some how
My daughter has a lot of kids and I try to help her out by freezing breakfast foods she can pull out on rushed mornings. Thanks and I'm pinning this! ~ Maureen
okay, that is interesting
