Egg & Ham Breakfast Muffins | Breakfast on the Go

Mornings get hectic at my house and breakfast tends to be devoured at a frantic pace. I don’t want any of us to leave for school or work without a hearty breakfast, so I need quick ideas.  I love these Egg & Ham Breakfast Muffins for that reason. I make a batch and then store them in a freezer bag.  In the morning, I wrap the muffins in a cloth napkin (or paper towel) and microwave for 15-25 seconds or until the are warmed all the way through.

These breakfast muffins are also very versatile. You can substitute the ham for any chopped, cooked meat, like bacon or sausage and the peppers for your favorite vegetable.
