These were delicious - helped when returning to work after having a baby...... I put a few in baggies - all she had to do is warm them. Add whatever else you want.

2. You're a good mom...
thinking of making her life easier and helping her stay healthy.

:hug:

and thanks for the laugh, the page opens with...

"I have never been much of a breakfast person. Well, unless its a jumbo double chocolate chip muffin which has been heated up in the microwave for 25 seconds so the chocolate chips just barely start to melt and then each bite just warms you up a bit as you devour the entire thing in less than 2 minutes. But, like I said, I have never been much of a breakfast person."

3. I thought that was funny also
These were really easy to make. She had a week of breakfast - but you could freeze these also.

I'm not much of a breakfast person either unless I have some homemade refried beans to put inside of a tortilla with hot sauce on the side of the plate. Now that makes my day!

I am going to make the eggs for a friend who does not cook (only by microwave). He is a vet so, he will love them.

4. I just made a frittata yesterday . . .
but I like the idea of using muffin tins.

And . . . that' was a very nice thing you did for your daughter. I'm sure she appreciated it.

5. These are a wonderful idea, Monique!
And what a wonderful thing to do for your daughter. You're a great mom! :hug:

I just showed these to my husband, too. I usually bake some kind of quick bread or muffin to pack in his lunch so he can eat it for breakfast when he gets to work. He really needs the protein more in the morning, tho. He thinks they are a great idea, too. So, I will be using this. How exciting!

Thank you so much for posting this! :hi:

6. What is she using to line the muffin tin?
It looks very convenient and easy to lift out.

9. I have a variation of these in the oven now.
I sauteed some onion, baby bellas, and yellow squash in olive oil with salt, pepper and a little garlic. I put it in a muffin pan that makes 6 large muffins and topped with fresh spinach and tomato. I cut the parm cheese to 1/2 cup and stirred into the eggs with a little cream. Added some of the egg mix to the cups, topped with some finely shredded cheddar and then a little more of the egg mixture.

The good thing about these is you can put whatever you want in them. These will be perfect for Bill's breakfasts this week.

Thanx again for posting these, Monique. :hi:

10. was thinking about some seasonings too...
such as the garlic and pepper you mentioned. The original might be too bland without anything.

Sounds good!

11. Bill said they were really good
and because I made it in the larger muffin tin one with some fruit was perfect for his breakfast. :)
