If you are into the healthy eating, meal prep crowd at all, then there is a high probability that you have tried the infamous egg muffins. They are a meal prep staple for many people.

But let's face it ... they leave a lot to be desired.

They often taste great when you first make them, but after reheating in the microwave, the eggs get pretty dry, while the add-ins get soggy.

I don't even know how that's possible - but trust me, it happens.

This recipe solves that problem completely because you don't actually cook the ingredients until you are ready to eat them. This gives you perfectly fluffy eggs, and fresh add-ins as well!

I've included some of my favorite combinations below, but really the sky is the limit. Feel free to customize these to suit your taste and dietary preferences.

Tips for Make-Ahead Breakfast Scramblers

Since I follow a keto diet, I opt to use whole eggs, full-fat cheese, and meats. But, if you want to cut back on the fat and calories, you can substitute egg whites, and leaner meats and cheeses.

I like to make these breakfast scrambles in 16 oz wide-mouth jars. The wide mouth makes it easy to eat from and they are just the perfect size for all of the ingredients. I use plastic reusable lids and just store the filled jars in the fridge until I am ready to add the eggs and cook.

If you don't have the jars, you can simply portion the mix-ins into small ziplock bags, then when you are ready to cook just dump them, along with the eggs into a coffee mug. I would also imagine that you could store and cook these in glass storage containers. (I use glasslock and LOVE it!)

Just be sure that whatever you use to cook these, will hold at least 2 cups. The eggs expand when you microwave them and will overflow if your container isn't large enough.

How to store and reheat

These will keep in the fridge for up to one week, but you can freeze them for several months as long as they are tightly sealed.

To save time when assembling your ingredients, you can use frozen vegetables and precooked bacon and sausage. I usually use the packaged real bacon pieces that are made for topping salads and it saves SO MUCH time and mess!

For the scrambles that use vegetables, you will want to make sure that your veggies are chopped pretty small in order to ensure that they cook through. Of course, if you want them to be a little crisper - you can just chop them a little larger.
