School is in session, and mornings can be extra hectic. Why not make breakfast a little easier on yourself and your family?

This Healthy T recipe makes 6 Healthy Make-Ahead Egg McMuffins. You could even double the recipe and make a dozen at once.

I put a healthier twist on the McDonald’s classic Egg McMuffin by using light, whole wheat English muffins and egg beaters. This recipe takes only about 5 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to cook. After that, you can toss the McMuffins into zip-tight plastic bags to freeze them for another day!

Note: You will need a muffin tin, zip-tight plastic bags and cooking spray for this Healthy T recipe.

Did I mention you cook the egg patties in the oven?? Super easy, and less messy!

Ingredients:

• 6 light, whole wheat English muffins
• 5 eggs
• 3/4 C  liquid egg beaters
• 2/3 C shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 zip-tight plastic bags

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and egg beaters.

Coat a muffin tin thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray.

Pour your whisked egg mixture into the muffin tin – filling at least 6 “holes.”

Sprinkle about 1T of cheese atop each egg “hole” before cooking.

Cook on the center oven rack for 20-25 minutes, or until eggs are fluffy without liquid.

Let cool.

Form a McMuffin by placing one egg patty in the middle of an English muffin.

Place the McMuffins individually in zip-tight plastic bags. Freeze.

To eat, microwave each McMuffin on a microwave-safe plate for 30-60 seconds.

Enjoy!

I'm a complete foodie who loves to stay fit! It's hard for me to whip up a classic recipe without adding a healthy twist, so I started my 'Healthy T' blog several years ago as a way to catalog my favorite concoctions. The support I've received in return has been remarkable. 'Healthy T' is all about eating to feel your best! Cheers!
