Here’s a tasty on-the-go recipe for a hearty breakfast - Protein Breakfast Muffins! They’re both adult and kid-approved and are great for making ahead and freezing too! this idea now...

We love eggs for breakfast in our house, but sometimes it’s nice to get away from the usual scrambled or over-easy eggs. And that’s where this recipe for Protein Breakfast Muffins comes in.

With eggs, ham, cheese, and a little bit of red pepper, this  protein-packed combo sits on a flaky biscuit, making it a perfect on-the-go hearty breakfast.

These Protein Breakfast Muffins are a hit with the whole family – kids and adults alike!

Nate usually makes the breakfast foods in our house and he can whip up a batch of these muffins quickly and easily. He says they’re “guy-cooking-approved” too.

Everyone loves them, even our littlest, Luke. These Protein Breakfast Muffins are a perfect, hearty breakfast for the whole family!

Even better, you can make these muffins ahead of time, freeze, then pop them in the microwave to cook! I often do this in the mornings or afternoons as an extra snack. I find that eating higher protein in the mornings helps me to stop snacking in the evenings.

  • Author: Erika at Living Well Mom.com
  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Cook Time: 15 mins
  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Yield: 10 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 container flaky biscuits
  • 1/2–3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/3 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/4–1/2 cup red pepper, finely chopped
  • 2/3 cup ham, cooked and chopped
  • 5 eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Separate the biscuits and cut each biscuit in half. Press them into the bottom of greased muffin cups and up the sides. Sprinkle about a little cheese )about 1 tsp) in the bottom of each of the biscuits; set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet and add the onion and red pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the onion and red pepper is softened. Add the ham; mix. Then add the eggs (whisk them first) and cook until set, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Divide the egg mixture between the muffin cups and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. You can add even more if you like it extra cheesy.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on the edge.
