For example, when I wake up in the morning, I want the least amount of time between me rolling out of bed and me strolling into work. The sooner I get the workday over with, the sooner I can come home to exercise, cook, blog, and just relax!

Whether you’re eating them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack, they’ll always hit the spot.

See? So simple! I even like to make a couple of batches at a time because having these on hands makes it so much easier not to reach for unhealthy snacks when I feel a craving coming on.
I’ve been using these ceramic muffin tins from Amazon for 5 years now, and they’re perfect. The eggs slide right out, with a delicious brown bottom, and clean up is so easy.
The best part? You can make a big batch on the weekend to enjoy for the entire week. They’re delicious cold or you can heat them up in the microwave in as little as 30 seconds.
Here’s another batch I made with just bacon and ground sausage. Chock full of proteins and healthy fats!
