Happy Meal Prep Monday, fam! We hope everyone had a great holiday weekend filled with family, friends, food, drinks and relaxation. We sure did, and while we loved every minute of it, we’re anxious to get back into the swing of our normal meal prep routine!

As you all know, egg muffins are one of our favorite meal prep secret weapons—they’re high in protein, low in carbs, and most importantly, high in satisfaction. They’re also super easy to make and even easier to switch up and keep things interesting from week to week. This week, we went for a western omelette vibe (is it omelette or omelet?), with ham, peppers, onion, and cheddar cheese. A western omelette is one of my go-to orders when I go out for a classic diner breakfast (with extra-crispy home fries, obvi), so I was thrilled to recreate those flavors and have them on hand to enjoy all week long.

Not a western omelette fan? Check out our Sun-Dried Tomato and Prosciutto Egg Muffins and our Jalapeño Popper Egg Muffins!
