Quick and Easy Egg McMuffins

Always running out the door in the morning?  I know, personally, that extra 10 minutes of sleep in the morning tends to outweigh my desire to make a full out breakfast.  Just ask Chris... I am NOT a morning person so the only interaction I have before my coffee tends to be my snooze button.  But did you know, health experts say the most important meal of the day is breakfast?

Ok, now I just feel like one of those health articles you read on Yahoo while you're bored at work, but my friends it's true!  There's nothing like a kick start to your metabolism like a healthy breakfast of carbs and protein.  So what's a girl (yes, or guy) to do when you'd rather take the time to sleep than sit down and eat?... Pre-made Egg McMuffins!

This is seriously one of the easiest recipes to pre-make and grab in the morning.  All you need - eggs, non-stick spray, a muffin pan, some english muffins, and toppings of choice (cheese, spinach, meats, peppers... you name it).

Egg disks - this is the bread and butter of the recipe, right here.  Ok, not literally bread and butter... but the key ingredient.
Ingredients
  • Non-Stick Spray
  • 6-12 Eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional - Oregano, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Paprika (you choose your spices)
  • English Muffins
  • Spinach
  • Cheese
  • Muffin Tin
  • Toaster
  • Microwave
Directions
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and spray the muffin tins with non-stick spray.
  • Crack eggs into muffin tins and add seasonings.  Put in the oven for 15 minutes (less time if you like your yolk more runny).
  • Let cool before removing from muffin pan and place in tupperware.  I wouldn't keep them in the refrigerator for longer than a week or two so keep that in mind before you make two dozen+ eggs in one sitting.
  • When you're ready in the morning, pop an egg disk with some cheese on it in the microwave for 15-30 seconds while you pop the english muffin in the toaster.  
  • Put together your sandwich with optional toppings and your good to go!
