A Simple Breakfast Idea
Our hens are laying lots of Healthy Free-Range Eggs for us these days. So I’m always looking for delicious ways to use them up.
I love to make these all-in-one breakfast-bite muffins. They’re not only easy to make but they transport well. I often make these breakfast muffins in advance & freeze them.
Here’s how I make them:
Ingredients For Breakfast-Bite Egg Muffins
Here are the ingredients for these simple breakfast-bite muffins:
8 Large Eggs
Chopped Ham or Cooked Breakfast Sausage
Shredded Cheese
Add little salt & pepper & you’re ready to bake ’em up.
I had some leftover smoked ham so that’s what I used. You can also use cooked & crumbled bacon or breakfast sausage instead if you like. (I like to Make My Own Breakfast Sausage when I’m using it for this recipe)
Baking The Breakfast Egg Muffins
I use a *Jumbo Muffin Pan for these breakfast bites. Remember not to fill the muffin cups all the way, you know how eggs will puff up when they’re baking!
Bake them in a 350ºF oven for about 30 minutes. Then pull them out of the oven & let them cool.
Because my muffin pan is silicone the cooled breakfast muffins easily pop out of those muffin cups.
You can put the extra cooled breakfast muffins into a freezer bag & freeze them for grab-n-go breakfasts all week.
Easy Homemade Breakfast On The Go
This is a great breakfast-on-the-go idea for the kids. No need to buy the expensive breakfast biscuits that come individually wrapped. You can pull one of these breakfast bites out of the freezer and heat it in the microwave. Breakfast is quick & you’re all ready to head out the door.
It’s a delicious & fast breakfast at a mere fraction of the cost of the purchased ones.
Using Breakfast Bites As A Biscuit Sandwich
If you want to make breakfast sandwiches you could bake these egg muffins in a regular-sized muffin pan instead of the larger jumbo-sized muffin pan.
Then when the smaller egg-bites are cooled you can slice them in half and place a hearty slice in between two layers of a buttermilk biscuit.
All so easy and so inexpensive. Go ahead, give it a try!

Easy Ham, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Muffins
An all-in-one breakfast you can eat with one hand! Or make these egg muffins and place inside a biscuit for egg, ham and cheese biscuit breakfast. So delicious, so easy. Makes 6 jumbo or 12 regular 'muffins' #TexasHomesteader
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 9 large eggs
- 2 cups Chopped smoked ham (or cooked & crumbled bacon or breakfast sausage)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 tsp each, salt and pepper
- Optional: Finely-chopped peppers, onions or spinach Optional add-ins
Instructions
Instructions:
-
Chop cooked ham. (If using bacon or sausage instead, brown, drain & crumble bacon or sausage).
-
In a bowl, beat eggs thoroughly.
-
Add meat, cheese, salt/pepper, and any optional ingredients to eggs. Stir to mix.
-
Pour into greased jumbo size muffin cups. Don't fill all the way to the top to allow for expansion during cooking.
-
Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes for jumbo-sized egg 'muffins' (or 20 minutes for regular-sized muffins) or until eggs are set.
Recipe Notes
Note: Although I typically make 6 jumbo sized 3-in-1 egg bites, you can make them in a regular muffin sized 12-count pan as well. Just shorten the cooking time to about 20 minutes for the smaller-sized egg bites, or until eggs are set.

I’ve made these several times now, both with chopped ham or with breakfast sausage. It always goes over well and I love having some leftover to enjoy later. I’ve never frozen them but I’d think they would freeze beautifully. So convenient!
