Packed with protein and nutrients, these grab-and-go egg muffins combine fresh spinach, cheese, and eggs into perfect individual portions that make breakfast meal prep a breeze. I started making these when my kids entered high school and needed quick, healthy breakfasts they could eat on busy mornings – now they’re a weekly staple in our household! The best part is you can make a big batch on Sunday evening and have nutritious breakfasts ready all week long, making those hectic weekday mornings so much smoother. They’re also perfect for brunch gatherings or holiday breakfast buffets when you want to serve something both impressive and wholesome.
