I seem to have a thing for 3 ingredient recipes.

Once kids can crack eggs and grate cheese, they can make these 3 ingredient cheddar broccoli egg muffins for you!

I’m fond of the cheddar broccoli combo but you can most definitely mix and match your veggie and cheese type.

Can you freeze egg muffins?

Yes! I find egg muffins and egg casseroles, in general, do really well frozen.

When the egg muffins are fully cool, individually freeze them on a baking tray.

Once fully frozen, add to an air-tight freezer bag, label, and keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.

To defrost simply place egg muffin in the fridge overnight and then warm in the morning, or place in the microwave and heat on high in 30-second increments until fully defrosted and heated.
