You can include anything you like in these Easy Western Stuffing Egg Muffins. You can use any cooked meat and almost any vegetables! You don’t have to make these Western style at all!
The reason I say almost any vegetable is because if you are using mushrooms for example you will need to saute them first or the egg mixture can become super watery!
Yes I know this because I have tried it and I should have known better!

Scrambled Egg Muffins
When my son was small he used to love making these Easy Western Stuffing Egg Muffins. We used to put out all of the choices and he and his friends would each make their own.
They were funny too, continually running back and forth to the oven to watch for when they were cooked and ready to eat! To this day he still makes them but I a sure he is not as excited while he does it!
I have used so many things to make these Easy Western Stuffing Egg Muffins. Everything from cooked bacon, ham and sausage to spinach, tomato and feta, to broccoli and cheese to, well, you get the idea!

Ingredients in Easy Western Stuffing Egg Muffins
Stuffing Crust
- 1 package chicken or turkey flavored stuffing mix
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- sprinkles salt
- sprinkles pepper
- cooking spray
Plain Scrambled Eggs
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- sprinkles salt
- sprinkles pepper
Western Omelet Ingredients
- 1 cup cheese, shredded, your favorite variety
- 1/4 -1/2 cup bacon or ham, chopped, cooked until crisp
- 1/4 cup onion, diced or chopped
- 1/4 cup sweet peppers, diced or chopped
- green onions, thinly sliced for garnish if desired
How to make Easy Western Stuffing Egg Muffins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare a 6 hole muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Making the Stuffing
First, you need to prepare your stuffing as directed on the package itself. The only difference will be that you DO NOT allow the stuffing to rest covered for 5 minutes before serving.
Everything else you need to do exactly the same.
Stove Top Stuffing Directions
Boil your water with some a couple tablespoons of butter inside it.
As soon as it boils add stuffing mix and stir until combined.
Then divide mixture, as evenly as possible, between the six holes in the muffin pan. I usually use a soup spoon to do this.
Next press stuffing into the muffin hole and press it up the sides.
Push the stuffing deep into the bottom of the muffin hole, especially around the lower bottom round edge. As you do this the stuffing will push up the sides of the muffin cup.
Once stuffing is cool enough I usually use my fingers to do this. The stuffing does not have to reach the top of each muffin hole but get as close as you can.
Next, sprinkle some cheese on the bottom of each stuffing cup, if desired. I always do. I just can’t seem to help myself.
Making Eggs – Omelet
If you’re adding extras to your scrambled eggs you’ll need to add them here. Everything needs to be added to each stuffing muffin cup before you add your egg mixture.
Add cooked and diced ham or bacon to bottom of your stuffing muffin cup.
Add onion and peppers too inside each stuffing muffin cup.
Making Eggs – Plain Scrambled
If you are just using some cheese and some eggs, make sure they are out and ready at your workstation.
In a bowl, using a fork, combine eggs, milk and a 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Using a ladle or soup spoon evenly divide mixture amongst each of the muffin cups as best you can.
Bake for about 20 minutes and remove from oven if wanting to add cheese. If not your eggs should be finished within 5 minutes.
Add a pinch or some cheese, again if desired, and return to oven for about another 5 minutes or eggs are done to your liking.
Use a toothpick to confirm that the eggs are done. The toothpick should come out clean if eggs are cooked. The scrambled eggs will also form a sort of dome that looks cooked at the top, in the middle, when they are cooked through.
Don’t panic, remember if you are using scrambled eggs they will expand. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Steps 4 and 5 seem to be repetitive, might want to reread 😛
