Mmm, I love these customizable egg muffins. They make such a cute and perfect little package.

Eggs alone are considered one of the most complete proteins on the planet but why stop there?  Let’s give it even more nutritional punch by packing in some iron (baby spinach) and also the fresh taste of dill.  These egg muffins combine to create one healthy, delicious & simple breakfast.  If you don’t like dill and spinach, simply substitute with a fresh herb and a veggie of choice.

I don’t eat cheese myself, but I added some for my kiddies & hubby who greatly enjoyed them.  I also cracked whole eggs in some as I really like the final look.

I love how simple it is to create a whole tray of ready, fresh-out-of-the oven eggs to feed the whole family.

Simply combine the ingredients, fill cupcake liners and then get creative with the toppings.

“The egg is a powerhouse of disease-fighting nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin. These carotenoids may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults. And brain development and memory may be enhanced by the choline content of eggs” webmd.com

“One little egg is packed with several vitamins essential to your health:

• Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which helps your body to break down food into energy
• Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), vital for producing red blood cells
• Vitamin A (retinol), which is great for your eyesight
• Vitamin E (tocopherol), which fights off the free radicals that can cause tissue and cellular damage, which may lead to cancer”

Don’t forget to eat the whole egg! “the goodness of eggs is found in the yolk (containing over 90 percent of an egg’s calcium and iron) and the white (containing almost half the egg’s protein).” besthealthmag.ca
