    Taco Egg Muffins |Peace Love and Low Carb

    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.

      I find some of the egg muffins are a big to "rough" in texture. Not sure if you know what I mean. Would it hurt if I added some heavy cream to make them a big softer or silkier like a quiche. I know they won't hold up so well to stand up on their own, but was wondering if you've tried anything like that. All your egg muffins look so delicious, I don't want to miss out on the tasting part and the variety I can have with them. Thanks so much. I really do love your recipes!

        Hi Yvonne, Yes you absolutely could add heavy cream. In fact, I add cream to all of my egg muffin recipes now. It makes them light and fluffy. So good!

      I made these this morning. They are delicious! I added some green onions to the eggs.

      Do you think you could use egg beaters as a substitute for the eggs?

      Are you sure this requires a dozen eggs? Generally to hold a meatloaf together we use 1 egg per pound of meat. Not even a quiche uses a dozen. Am I confuesed about the texture we're trying to achieve?

        They are egg muffins, not meatloaf. It is an egg based breakfast. Think of it like mini fritattas or baked omelets

      Can you bake these and keep leftovers for the week.? How long can you keep them in the fridge before eating? Thanks !

        These are a great make ahead option. I would only keep them in the fridge for about 3 or 4 days but I also think they will freeze well.
