Instead of cooking eggs on the stovetop every morning, make-ahead egg recipes are a lifesaver! This recipe for scrambled eggs in muffin tins yields 24 servings and freezes beautifully for an easy, nutritious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/breakfast-on-the-go-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/breakfast-on-the-go-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">on-the-go breakfast<\/a>. All I have to do is pop a few in the oven or microwave to warm up while I sip my coffee, and breakfast is ready.<\/p>\n<p>To make baked muffin tin eggs, start by whisking a big bowl of eggs. Then, stir in seasonings and mix-ins, pour the mixture into muffin tins and bake until the eggs are set. We&#8217;re using onion, mushrooms, canned green chiles, diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese to add flavor and texture to the eggs, but you can easily customize them with your favorite combination of meats, veggies and cheese.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Muffin Tin Eggs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> At first glance, the two dozen eggs this recipe calls for seem like a lot, but we&#8217;re baking 24 egg muffins, so it shakes out to one egg per muffin cup. Wondering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-best-eggs-to-buy\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-best-eggs-to-buy\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">which eggs to buy<\/a>? As long as you use large eggs here, it doesn&#8217;t matter whether they&#8217;re labeled cage-free, free-range or organic (but I recommend learning the difference to choose the right eggs for your preferences!).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasoning:<\/strong> Garlic powder, salt and pepper give the scrambled egg mixture an extra-savory flavor. You&#8217;re not limited to these spices, though. See below for inspiration on how to customize the flavor with other seasonings and herbs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:<\/strong> A little chopped onion adds a savory, aromatic flavor to the egg bites. Dice the onion into small pieces so they cook through in the oven and won&#8217;t overpower the other flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mushrooms:<\/strong> Jarred or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-to-make-with-a-can-of-mushrooms\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-to-make-with-a-can-of-mushrooms\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">canned sliced mushrooms<\/a> add an earthy flavor without the cook having to prep fresh mushrooms\u2014just be sure to drain them first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green chiles:<\/strong> A small can of diced green chiles adds just the right amount of heat. There&#8217;s no need to drain them. Add the chiles with their juice, which is how this recipe was tested. For a non-spicy version, substitute finely chopped green bell pepper for the green chiles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ham:<\/strong> Diced deli ham adds smoky, meaty flavor and extra protein to these egg cups. For the best flavor and texture, I recommend picking up thick-cut deli ham\u2014it&#8217;s meatier and more flavorful than thinly sliced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/deli-meat-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/deli-meat-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">deli meat<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese:<\/strong> For bold, cheesy flavor, use sharp or extra-sharp cheddar.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, pepper and garlic powder until the eggs are beaten and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the mushrooms, green chiles, ham, onion and shredded cheese.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> Drain the mushrooms before mixing them with the eggs, but you can add the entire can of green chiles\u2014the peppers and their liquid.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Fill the muffin tins<\/h3>\n<p>Generously grease two standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/gear\/bakeware\/muffin-tin\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/gear\/bakeware\/muffin-tin\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">muffin tins<\/a>. Fill each muffin cup with roughly 1\/4 cup egg mixture\u2014you should have enough to fill all 24 muffin cups.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> Make sure to grease the bottom and sides of each muffin cup to prevent sticking. A pastry brush is the perfect tool to ensure every nook and cranny is well-greased.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Bake<\/h3>\n<p>Bake the scrambled eggs in oven in muffin pans until the eggs are set, 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the muffin tins halfway through. Let the egg cups stand for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans. If desired, serve with pico de gallo.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> Insert a toothpick or paring knife into the center of an egg cup.

From asparagus to zucchini, you can use any assortment that makes you happy! Broccoli, bell peppers, leafy greens and tomatoes work well in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/simple-egg-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/simple-egg-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">egg recipes<\/a>. Just be sure to dice them small so they distribute and cook evenly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try another meat:<\/strong> Instead of ham, you could add chopped chicken sausages, crispy bacon crumbles, browned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/chorizo-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/chorizo-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">chorizo<\/a> or Italian sausage. Prefer meatless egg bites? Just omit the ham for a vegetarian-friendly version.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Experiment with seasoning:<\/strong> Give your baked scrambled eggs in muffin tins fresh flavor with a sprinkle of fresh or dried herbs, such as basil, parsley, dill, cilantro or chives. For something bolder, stir a teaspoon of ranch or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-taco-seasoning-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-taco-seasoning-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">taco seasoning<\/a> into the eggs. Prefer some heat? Try crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix up the cheese:<\/strong> You can swap in any melting cheese, like Swiss or pepper jack. For a Mediterranean spin, try crumbled feta.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Muffin Tin Eggs<\/h2>\n<p>Let the baked eggs in muffin tins cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container. Use parchment to separate layers and prevent sticking. The egg cups will stay fresh in the fridge for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze muffin tin eggs?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, muffin tin eggs freeze well and can be reheated from frozen\u2014perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts! Pack the egg cups into a freezer-safe container or wrap individual egg cups with storage wrap and place them in a resealable bag. They&#8217;ll last in the freezer for up to three months.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make scrambled eggs in a cupcake pan ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely! Baked scrambled eggs in muffin tins are the perfect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/make-ahead-breakfast-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/make-ahead-breakfast-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">make-ahead breakfast<\/a>, especially for busy mornings. Whisk the eggs with your favorite mix-ins, pour the mixture into a muffin tin and bake. Let the egg cups cool completely before popping them out of the tin and into a storage container. Store them in the refrigerator if you&#8217;ll be eating them within a few days, or freeze them to make them last longer.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat muffin tin eggs?<\/h3>\n<p>Microwaving is the fastest way to reheat the eggs, but you can bake them in the oven if you&#8217;re not in a rush. Place the egg cups on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel (it&#8217;ll prevent them from drying out) and nuke on high in 30-second intervals until warmed through. To bake them, preheat the oven to 350\u00b0 and bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until warm.<\/p>\n<h2>Muffin Tin Egg Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2140222\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Muffin-Tin-Eggs-FT25_67219_AC_0430_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Close-up shot of Muffin-Tin Scrambled Eggs; served on a plate with pico de gallo; a fork rest on a napkin; all set on white wooden surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ALLISON CEBULLA FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Should you use liners for baked eggs in muffin tins?<\/h3>\n<p>Muffin tin liners are optional. You can use them to make the scrambled eggs in muffin tins easier to remove and the pan easier to clean, but liners can also keep the edges of the egg muffins from turning crispy and golden in the oven. To keep the eggs from sticking to the muffin tins, I recommend spraying your pans with nonstick spray or generously coating them with neutral oil or butter.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does it take to cook eggs in a muffin tin?<\/h3>\n<p>These egg muffins take about 20 minutes to bake in a 350\u00b0 oven. Since every oven heats differently, I recommend checking them for doneness after 16 to 18 minutes. The eggs are ready when set in the center and lightly golden around the edges. You can double-check their doneness by sticking a toothpick or the tip of a knife into the center of one\u2014if it comes out clean and dry, they&#8217;re good to go!<\/p>\n<h3>Can you cook plain eggs in a muffin tin?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can cook plain eggs, scrambled or unscrambled, in a muffin tin. Grease your pan well, then crack one whole egg into each muffin cup and bake at 350\u00b0 for about 15 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the yolks are to your liking. To make plain baked scrambled eggs, simply whisk the eggs before filling the muffin tin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muffin tin eggs are miniature baked omelets\u2014perfect for meal prep.
