What's For Breakfast: Egg Muffins

I am all about convenience when it comes to healthy eating. Which, I suppose sounds odd, as eating a healthier diet typically requires more prep and cooking time when making things from scratch. However, if I can get all the prep work done for a week's worth of meals in one fell swoop, I'll still call that convenient.

Case in point, these egg muffins. Making a batch means I have breakfast for at least a week, with a few extra to eat as snacks. The biggest time investment involves chopping up some veggies, but once that's done, you just toss the chopped veg in with some beaten eggs, and spices, pour the whole shebang in a prepped muffin tin, and, wham, bam, breakfast is ready for the week.

These egg muffins are simple to modify to your taste, as you can add in whatever vegetables you have on hand, along with your favorite spices (herbes de Provence, oregano, hot sauce, etc.), to make them.
