Ham and Broccoli Egg Muffins

Aug 01, 2024 | Blog
Looking for a high-protein breakfast or snack? Try these protein-packed Egg Muffins, which are packed with broccoli, peppers and cheese. Add ham or smoked salmon, if you prefer, to sneak some extra protein in! 

Makes 8 muffins and serves 4 people

1 tbsp olive oil
100g broccoli, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
6 large eggs
1 tbsp milk
50g reduced fat cheddar, grated
100g smoked salmon, flaked or ham, roughly chopped
Freshly ground black pepper 
1 tbsp chopped parsley or dill (optional)

STEP 1 - Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Grease an 8-hole muffin tin with half the oil. Then use the remaining oil to fry the broccoli and red pepper in a frying pan for 5 minutes. Leave to cool slightly before adding to the egg mixture in the next step.

STEP 2 - Whisk the eggs, milk, and half the cheese in a bowl. Add the cooked broccoli and red pepper. Then add the ham or smoked salmon, if using. Season with freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley or dill (optional). 

STEP 3 - Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 15-17 mins, until the muffins are cooked through and golden brown.
