My DH started doing a low carb diet, so I wanted to make something for him that was easy to grab and heat up in the mornings before work. This is seriously the easiest thing to make and you only have to make it once a week. Prep and bake it Sunday night, pop them in the fridge, and sleep in a little bit the morning after!
Good thing is toddlers love it, too. Everyone in your family can eat these. My DH smothers them in hot sauce, but I just cut them into pieces for Ellie. 
To heat them up, just microwave them for 30-45 seconds. You could probably even freeze them if you need, but we ate them all within a couple of days so there was no need for that here.
These muffin cups are also very versatile. You can omit the pesto, change the meat, add some veggies… the options are endless!
You could make it easier and bake them in liners, but I prefer spraying the pans. Enjoy!

- 12 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk

- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two muffins tins with baking spray. This recipe made 16 muffins for me, so I sprayed one entire tin and part of another.
