Healthy, protein-packed, low-carb, and gluten free breakfast egg muffins, loaded with Mediterranean favorites! You can prepare these ahead for the perfect on-the-go breakfast. My family is big on breakfast. If it’s a weekend morning, you can bet we’ll be doing shakshuka; a frittata of sorts; or even a big Mediterranean brunch board with falafel and all sorts of other favorites. And I used to think, it’s hard to do eggs on busy weekday mornings…until I got into breakfast egg muffins!
I’m tucking this idea aside for a Sunday morning surprise - my fiance adn myself love this kind of food! Can’t wait to hear when you make this board! I tell you what… I want to dig into that platter of delicious looking food. I love platters like that, as it always has some decent staples that I know I like and there are little morsels of unique stuff that I can try. Thank you for sharing! Same here…I love an assortment of small plates. I would love to eat everything on this breakfast tray I adore all these choices! Especially the olives yum! Thanks for checking it out, Claudia! This is such a gorgeous spread! I need to make this asap!
5. Then stir in cooked quinoa and add salt & pepper to taste. 6. Spoon this mixture evenly into casserole pan. Then top with crumbled feta cheese. 7. In medium separate bowl add eggs, half & half cream, salt & pepper to taste and whisk together completely. 8. Pour egg mixture over casserole & top with chopped cilantro. 9. Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes. 10. Can serve immediately or cool and store in fridge for later use.
These ingredients are affordable and enjoyable and most importantly good for you! You can combine and add anything to the plate, if I have peppers I pan fry or grill them and mix them with feta. Just use what you have in the kitchen and make a nice presentation….makes the kids excited to pick out their favourite things…and to try new ones!
Remove kale leaves from the stems and place in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Massage slightly to combine oil and spices. Transfer kale to a serving bowl, top with hummus, cucumbers, olives and quinoa. Once eggs are ready, peel and slice. Transfer to the bowl and top with feta. Top with a few pinches of thyme.
And as far as what goes in them, the possibilities are endless. In this egg muffin recipe, I chose to use what I have on hand: chopped bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and shallots. Shredded leftover rotisserie chicken goes in (use any cooked meat you have on hand, or leave it meatless.) Then some Mediterranean flavor makers like olives, a sprinkle of feta, and fresh parsley. You can use any vegetables you have on hand. And if you decide to use harder vegetables like carrots or broccoli, saute or cook them first and let them cool before using.
