Easy Breakfast Casserole Muffins: What’s Not to Love?

Easy Breakfast Casserole Muffins have been a reader favorite for a LONG time. Maybe it’s because they come together quickly with ingredients you likely have on hand. Or possibly because they are budget-friendly. Or maybe it’s because they work beautifully as a make-ahead breakfast idea. (Here are many other make-ahead breakfast ideas, FYI.) For many reasons, we think you are going to LOVE this recipe.

When you make these savory muffins, it’s super easy to include your kids in the preparation. My kiddos love helping me tear up leftover bread pieces (which I store in a ziplock in the freezer) and placing them in each greased muffin tin. They also help sprinkle shredded cheese, tear up and scatter ham pieces, and stir the egg mixture. It’s such an easy breakfast idea!

The measurements in my recipe are approximate. It’s hard to mess these up, so use your judgment as you go. You can also jazz them up with some chopped spinach, parsley, or different kinds of cheese.

Or you can keep it simple and kid-friendly. Your call!

How to Freeze and Thaw Breakfast Casserole Muffins

Freeze For Later: Bake according to instructions and let fully cool. Place muffins in a single layer in a gallon-sized freezer container or bag. Seal well, squeezing out excess air, and freeze.

Prepare From Frozen: Wrap a muffin in a moist paper towel and microwave in 30 seconds increments until heated through (about 1-2 minutes). Or thaw in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave.
