Easy Egg Breakfast Muffins – a new “McMuffin” is in town, an easy, delicious breakfast muffin made with bacon, eggs, and cheese.
I love my sisters. Really, I couldn’t make it through the day sometimes without them. Our mornings at Starbucks, gym workouts and daily, sometimes hourly phone calls power me through ever so long days. What I love about our relationships is our honesty and knowing each other’s gifts and talents.
My sister, Tami, tells us to assign her something that she can buy at the store every time we all get together for a meal. Although Tami is an excellent baker and she can really whip out anything, she just doesn’t have the time. As a working professional and mom to the cutest little girl you will ever meet, she values and prioritizes her time well. Besides making sugar and monster cookies, Tam loves to make things for her daughter, Kennedy. Snacks, lunches, and etc.
The other morning she texted my sister, Nicole and I a picture of K’s breakfast. It was something a co-worker had told her about. It was a piece of bacon wrapped around an egg muffin with some cheese. So cute, so simple. She used the bacon kind of like a muffin wrapper, genius! I love it and knew I wanted to make it. As I had some puff pastry crust already thawing, I put my own little twist on Tam’s muffin.
So here you are from my sister’s and my kitchen to yours – an easy, delicious, kid-friendly breakfast muffin.
Enjoy! XOXO San
How do you make Easy Egg Breakfast Muffins?
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Prepare muffin cup baking sheets by spraying with cooking oil and set aside.
-
Get out the puff pastry and follow the directions to thaw. Once thawed, place puff pastry on lightly floured counter. Roll with a rolling pin.
-
Using biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter cut out 36 circles, you will need to use both sheets, do one at a time. Place 2 circles in each muffin cup. Press them into the pan. Fill 18 muffin cups.
-
In a small bowl, scramble one egg, pour into a muffin cup, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cheese and crumbled bacon. Repeat the process until all 18 muffin cups are full.
-
Place in preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. Remove from oven and serve.
-
Play around with your ingredients. Add veggies, ham, sausage, different types of cheese, think of the “toppings” your kids would like and use those. Enjoy!

Kids review: HUGE hit! I couldn’t believe how many of them asked for seconds! Score, even the picky eaters devoured them. A weekly repeat for sure!

Your breakfast muffins sound so good! I am going to have to try your recipe, I love warm breakfasts!
Thanks Jenn! xo San
I have a very strong relationship with my sisters. They are 7 and 9 years younger than me, and it wasn’t always that way, but as we have gotten older, we have grown closer. These muffins look delicious!
Thanks Mindy! I have a sister that is 11 years younger than me and we aren’t as close as my sisters that are close to my age. But I am hoping once she has a family that will change. xo San
These look really yummy!

OMGosh these look SO good! I’ve been making these muffins with egg whites, veggies and cheese so having the pastry added would be a great treat!

I LOVE Breakfast Muffins. So yummy and perfect for when guests are over.
I make something similar, using partially-cooked bacon as the base instead of the bread. It is so good! – Katy
Oh my gosh I am so hungry now. This looks so tasty!
Thanks girl! xo San
What temperature do I bake these at? Good old 350?
YEs thanks Cheryl – 350! xo San
This seems like a fun and tasty recipe I would like to try for my family.
These look so delicious!! I feel like I could eat a ton of them, which might be trouble. 😉
This look fabulous! Thanks for sharing with us at Simple Supper Tuesday.
Looks great. Don’t think I’d waste time breaking one egg at a time. I would break all 18 eggs at once, beat, add salt and pepper then pour into muffin cups from a pitcher. Much faster and simpler.
Thanks for the recipe, I didn’t have the pastery so I used the cheap canned biscuits that I use to make dumplings. There are 10 biscuits in a can. I pressed them until they where larger then the muffin tin and thin and followed the rest of the directions. They where wonderful. Thank you so much for the idea. Just watch when using the biscuits they get big lol. Cooking time about 18 mins.
