Turkey Pizza Egg Muffins are the answer to your need for a savory and healthy grab and go breakfast! They're inspired by a hamburger pizza but perfect for your morning meal.
1 1/2tbspolive oil, This is to grease the muffin pan and prevent sticking.
1/2lblean ground turkey, I use 93/7. Can substitute lean ground beef if you prefer.
1/2tspsalt
1/2tsppepper
1/2tspgarlic, minced
1/2tsponion powder
1/2tspdried basil
1/2tspdried oregano
12eggs
1/2cupmarinara sauce
1/4cupfresh spinach, chopped, Can substitute a fresh herb like basil or parsley.
a few strips of jarred roasted red pepper, drained, Can substitute diced tomatoes or sliced black olives.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease the muffin tin with the olive oil (or use a spray). Don’t skimp on this or your eggs will stick. Make sure you grease both the sides and bottom of each muffin cup.
Sauté the ground turkey until cooked. Add salt, pepper, minced garlic, onion powder, dried basil, and dried oregano. Stir. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk your eggs with the marinara sauce. Stir until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into your muffin pan so that each cup is about 3/4 of the way full (or a little more).
Add the chopped fresh spinach and use a fork to push the spinach down a bit. Add the cooked ground turkey to each muffin cup.
Chop the roasted red pepper and sprinkle a little in each muffin cup.
Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. The egg muffins will puff up a lot while baking. They’ll settle down over the next 5 minutes as they cool. Once cooled, use a fork or small spatula to gently pull the egg muffins from the pan and serve. (Instructions for meal prep and/or freezing these egg muffins can be found in the blog post right above this recipe.)
Notes
Don’t skimp on greasing the muffin pan. The egg muffins will stick to the pan if you don’t use a fairly heavy hand with the oil. You can use a spray oil if you prefer but make sure you have thoroughly greased each cup, both the bottoms and the sides.
