How to make breakfast egg muffins?
Making breakfast egg muffins is really simple and straight forward, you will only need a few whole foods such as bacon, yoghurt, spring onions, eggs, apples, cheese (I like using Gruyere), hazelnuts, apple cider vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, salt and pepper.
Also, this recipe is not set in stone, feel free to substitute some ingredients for others to switch things up. After all, the best diet is a varied diet.
This recipe is perfect for busy people as all the prep work can be done in a blender (I use an Optimum Vac2 Air Vacuum Blender), but don’t worry if you don’t have a blender, you can also chop and mix everything the traditional way.
First, grease the muffin tins with butter, then place the bacon across the bottom and around the sides to form a cup.
Then add all the remaining ingredients to a blender and mix until everything is well combined. Now, carefully pour the mixture into the muffin tins and bake it for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the egg muffins cool for about 10 minutes in the tins, this way they will be much easier to remove.
