Savory Breakfast Muffins Recipe

Do you get tired of eggs, oatmeal, or smoothies but don't want a sweet muffin for breakfast? Egg muffins never reheat very well, in my opinion, but these savory breakfast muffins are hearty, keep well in the fridge for up to a week or freezer for 2 months, and are easy to grab, reheat for 30 seconds, and go. I cook extra bacon or sausage on the weekends to have these prepped for the week. Try different combinations of vegetables and add cheese for variety.
