Breakfast Recipes: Egg Muffins

I love eggs and these muffins are one more great way to enjoy these two tone wonder foods. They are simple to make, quick to cook and totally versatile when it comes to additional ingredients.

As I've written before, breakfast is my least favourite meal of the day as I never know what to have but these muffins are my new best friends.

Ingredients (makes four)

2 eggs
Dash of milk
1 spring onion chopped
Chunk of yellow pepper diced
2 cherry tomatoes chopped
Grated cheddar cheese (a sprinkle per muffin)
Black pepper

Method

It's so easy...

Preheat the oven to Gas 4/350°F/180°C

Line a muffin tin with cases (I use silicon so no need to grease, but you might need to).

Beat the eggs in a jug, add the milk, chopped veg, grated cheese and black pepper.

3/4 fill your cases (I used 1\4 cup measure).

Bake for 20 minutes until there is no liquid present.

 

Allow to cool and pop from the case.

Enjoy!

Beautiful Baked Eggs and Smoked Fish

Ingredients per ramekin

• 15g butter plus extra for greasing
• Dash olive oil
• One egg
• Large handful spinach [it shrinks considerably when cooked]
• 50g smoked fish shredded (mackerel, salmon or kippers for example)
• Tablespoon pouring cream
• Pinch nutmeg, freshly grated if you can get it

Method

Preheat the oven to Gas 4/180ºC/350ºF

Grease the ramekin with butter

Heat the butter and oil in a pan and wilt the spinach for 2-3 mins

Remove and squeeze out any liquid

Finely chop and mix with half the cream, nutmeg and salt and pepper if desired

Mix in the shredded fish

Put the fish mix into the base of the ramekin, crack the egg on top and pour over the remaining cream

Bake in oven for 20 minutes, allow to cool and turn over in the hope that it all stays together [I didn’t take a photo of the second one that fell apart :)]

Enjoy!
