These delicious egg muffins are the perfect snacking and breakfast solution! It’s not often that you find a healthy, savoury snack that’s packed with veggies AND super convenient at the same time.

The best part is that you can make them in advance and even freeze them! Simply pop in the microwave for a minute or so to warm through OR they are just as good eaten cold because we understand lunch on the go sometimes needs to be eaten cold.

Incorporating quinoa grains to a frittata-style muffin provides a good source of fibre and can help keep that satisfied, fulfilling feeling to avoid over-snacking between meals!

Morlife Certified Organic Tricolour Quinoa contain a range of antioxidants.

*Handy tip: Add any veggies that you have on-hand and mix it up with different flavours by adding chopped olives and alternative herbs such as rosemary.

You can easily make these dairy free by removing the feta cheese and replacing with any other ingredient! (We think chopped sundried tomatoes are a deliciously gourmet addition).
