Scrambled Egg Muffins

scrambled egg muffins step by step recipe with pictures

Happy New Year, dear friends!

I wish you health, love, happiness and joy!

And I am completely sure that you’ll have it all.

Some things I just know.

 

What I am also sure about is that you’ll love these scrambled egg muffins.

The idea comes from lovely and cute Jessica Seinfeld. She presented the recipe on Martha Stewart’s show recently.

The recipe is included in her cook book called ‘Deceptively Delicious’ where she shares very smart secrets on how to trick your kids into eating healthy stuff.

Cool, huh?

 

To tell you the truth, I am kind of blushing now. I need to own up to something. But it’s a little hard… because I think I’ve done something really naughty.

Maybe worse than naughty.

The original recipe includes chopped chickpeas and I just left them out wickedly.

And, I added salt.

Aaaaa…

I can only hope that the universal committee for healthy living will forgive me.

But I think they have to because these muffins tasted just amazing.

    Yummy looking. I don’t have a muffin tin (and my tiny toaster oven is probably too small for one). However, I do have one of those sandwich maker thingies they used to hawk on TV. Maybe I’ll try making them in there. I’ve done eggs in there before.

    Tried these – and stuck to the recipe exactly (except for the parsley, which my daughter doesn’t like) — but mine puffed way up like popovers, then shrunk back on themselves when I took them out of the oven. So they were tasty, but didn’t have the firm muffin shape like in the pictures here.

      Hi Tessa. That was a year ago in a very small shop somewhere in Europe. I guess I didn’t help you much with this. Sorry. Anyhow, I hope you’ll find yours soon. They have to be in shops around Valentine’s.

    Saw it, made it, loved it, blogged about it. Thank you for this recipe. I doubled the recipe, so we have been enjoying these all week long. I used turkey bacon which seems to be saltier than pork bacon, so next time I would either cut out the the salt or cut way back on it. But truly, they are yummy! Thanks again!
