My daughter has been battling yet another cold. So I usually amp up the onions and garlic when we are sick, she is a 3 years old so I have to hide it in the food most of the time because she thinks onions looks like worms! These little egg muffins are super easy to make and take with you for a quick breakfast or any meal for that matter. We had them last night because I worked late and I had nothing prepare! Gasp…I know…me?! Yes, I had not prepared for yesterday but that was okay, we always have yummy food that I can make in a flash, like this one! Makes 12 muffins. Nutritional info based on 1 muffin.
