RancherMan & I were getting together with my brother & sister and their spouses for a fun sibling vacation to Broken Bow, OK. We were staying in a gorgeous cabin with a full kitchen, so to keep our expenses down we planned to enjoy some of our vacation meals right there at the cabin. All three families were bringing food to contribute to specific meals. I brought Blueberry Muffins to snack on one day, Chocolate Crazy Cake for dessert after one meal, and promised to bring breakfast for the group one morning too.

I decided to make something easy that would transport well. Something I could make in advance & freeze so I could be on vacation too while we were on vacation!

I’ve made these breakfast muffins for RancherMan before & he loved them. So I decided to whip up a batch for our family gathering.

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. This recipe works great for that! I used about 8 large eggs for these muffins. Here’s what I did:

Mixing Up The Breakfast Muffins

I had some leftover smoked ham so that’s what I used. You can also use cooked & crumbled bacon or sausage instead if you like.

In a bowl I mixed up 8 eggs, the chopped ham & the shredded cheese. A little salt & pepper & I was ready to bake ’em up. See, I told you it was easy!

I poured it into my *Jumbo Muffin Pan. Remember not to fill the muffin cups all the way. You know how eggs will puff up when they’re baking!

Baking The Breakfast Muffins

Then I slid the pan into a 350-degree oven & baked the breakfast muffins for about 30 minutes. Oh man did those eggs puff up! When they were done I pulled them out of the oven & let them cool. It’s funny to see them deflate as they cool down. LOL

Because my muffin pan is silicone the cooled breakfast muffins easily popped out of those muffin cups. I put the cooled breakfast muffins into a freezer bag & froze them in preparation for our trip.

When we got to the cabin I placed the bag of frozen muffins in the fridge to thaw. Then when it was time to eat breakfast I simply warmed the muffins and served them with cream gravy. It was delicious and oh so easy!
