Have you ever had a taco omelet? This recipe is like a more portable version of that same omelet. The perfect recipe to make ahead of time and eat for breakfast throughout the week. Egg muffins are one of my favorite ways to use up leftovers. Just take any leftover meat and vegetables I have on hand, whisk them in with some eggs and bake them into beautifully delicious little breakfast muffins. Two of my favorite variations are these Buffalo Chicken Egg Muffins and these Chicken Pot Pie Egg Muffins. I even have an entire round up of 28 Grab and Go Low Carb, Keto Egg Muffin Recipes.
