Egg Muffins

Remember way way way back when I told you not to throw out your non-paleo-days stuff {like your cake pans, cookie sheets, toaster oven, cupcake tins, etc}… yeah… todays the day you’re going to need and go dig out the cupcake / muffin tin. Why? Because we’re making Egg Muffins! So good that even Mr. Not So Paleo likes them and their epicness.

Let me start off by saying that there are a million and one recipes for these bad boys. I just made mine as quickly and as cheaply as possible but do your homework if you want to mix it up, you’ll find some really great recipes out there for these! Also, as always… filling is totally up to you, this is what I used because it was what was laying around and well it’s pretty cheap… but use what you have…don’t go buy special stuff just for these!

Ok here we go!

{This Recipe was enough to fill one medium sized muffin tin w/ 6 muffins in the tin}
Ingredients:
• 1/4 {ish} cup raw chicken {I used two chicken tenders}
• 1 small onion
• 1/4 cup {ish} Frozen Spinach
• 5 Eggs
• Salt, Pepper, your favorite herbs / spices
• Butter
• 1.5 Tbsp Feta cheese {optional}

How to:
• Preheat oven to 350{F}

• In a small skillet, get some butter heating. Chop up your onions super fine add those in to get soft. While that’s going, chop up your chicken into a bit smaller than bite sized pieces, add that into your pan as well.

• Let that cook for a few minutes, crack your eggs into a separate bowl add in salt + pepper  & seasoning and beat them well. Set aside.

• When you’re chicken is almost at “almost cooked” stag add in your spinach. Stir, finish up cooking.

• While that’s finishing liberally grease up your muffin tins with butter {and I mean go to town, don’t forget to butter the top rim part of the tin as well as the top part of it}.

• Once the spinach +  chicken is done add it into the eggs along with feta, mix up well.  Then scoop mixture into each muffin tin. I filled them almost to the top.

• Place your muffin tin on an aluminum foil lined pan in case of spillage while cooking, pop that into your oven, cook for 20-30 minutes or until eggs are cooked through.

Boom, they’re done. Now these bad boys are cheap to make {you could make them cheaper by using ground meat if that’s on sale, sausages, etc etc} and they’re a great to-go snack. You could wrap these up and toss in freezer for quick week day breakfasts {just microwave to reheat}. You can leave them in your fridge and grab one on your way to work. You can pack them in a small bag to have on the road with you. Heck, toss one in your purse all wrapped up and hand it over to the kids when they get out of school and are hungry!

Enjoy!
