How to have breakfast when running out the door

Hey everyone! As you may know, I started this blog for a class in the spring – ah those were the days when my “responsibilities” were writing a blog… So I took a little break from posting after graduation, but now that I have moved to Raleigh and been working for a few weeks I’d like to post every now and then.

I’m trying to adjust to the working world where I have to stay focused for 8 hours straight then have absolutely nothing to do afterwards besides decorate my apartment. This weekend has been really relaxing and I’ve caught up on everything I needed to do so I had time to prepare my breakfasts for the coming week! I first saw the idea of egg muffins on another blog and thought it would be perfect for grabbing on the way to work in the morning. I’m one of those people that has to eat breakfast, but I barely give myself time to throw on clothes and run out the door. I’m really excited to have these ready for this week, and I already know they’re going to be delicious because I didn’t have the will power to not eat a couple.

 

 

 

 

 

These egg muffins are basically little omelettes that are great to refrigerate and heat up later! I changed the recipe a little from the one that I found, and you can do the same and add whatever ingredients sound good to you!  Here’s how I made the egg muffins:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and butter the muffin tin
• Mix 4 eggs, a splash of milk, chopped up spinach, and salt and pepper to taste
• Pour into 6 muffin cups
• Sprinkle in bacon bits and sharp cheddar cheese
• Bake for about 20 minutes

To make these slightly healthier, you can use 2 whole eggs + 5 eggs whites, forget the bacon, and add more veggies. I’m waiting for my avocado to ripen so I can top the egg muffins with it one morning 🙂

Thanks so much for reading! If you have good ideas for what you have for breakfast before/at work, I’d really love to hear them. Or if you have ways on how to stay focused at work, that would be even more helpful haha.
