"These are a tasty breakfast on the go. I make a batch to freeze and then they're ready to go in my lunch bag. Everywhere I work people ask for the recipe. They're also good without the ham"

These have great possibilities & I think one could come up with endless varieties to use what's on hand. The muffins do have a definite quiche like taste, if not texture. I found the batter very thick & the muffins a tad dry. I plan to be more careful with the measuring of flour & to replace my baking powder before making the recipe again. Maybe that will correct the issue. We did enjoy them for brunch & they reheated nicely for another meal. Thank you for sharing the recipe! Made for Fall 2011 Pick A Chef. You were adopted! :-)

Great breakfast treat. The broccoli was steamed a couple of minutes in the microwave and the use of the Vita-Mix make quick work of chopping. The onion was reduced to 1/2 medium. I used a combination of egg beaters and whole eggs. The flour was a mixture of white and whole wheat pastry flour. I was able to reduce the amount of oil to 1/3 cup. My yield was 15 nice size muffins. Made for Spice of the Month in the French Forum.
