Breakfast Make Ahead and Meal Prep Tips:
If your mornings are busy like ours, here are some ideas that will help you save time in the morning making breakfast. If you have more time saving tips to share, please leave a comment so others can use your tips too!
- Chop vegetables in advance: I like to dice onions, peppers, greens, or potatoes up to 3 days ahead and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. This makes skillet breakfasts and egg dishes much faster to to make in the morning.
- Cook proteins ahead of time: Brown sausage, bacon, or ground meat in advance and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Having protein ready to go makes recipes like the egg muffins, quiche, or breakfast skillets come together quickly.
- Egg muffins and frittatas reheat well: Egg muffins and frittatas can be baked ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven so they stay soft, not rubbery.
- Freeze individual portions: Many of these recipes freeze well once fully cooled. I like to freeze in individual portions in Souper Cubes, which stack nicely in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or reheat straight from frozen for easy mornings.
