    Hatch Green Chile Egg Muffins

    I like to tell people that I’m a morning person. But what I really mean, is that I like to get up extra early to enjoy my morning coffee. Before my first cup of coffee, I am stumbling around, spilling coffee grounds, and basically just a hot mess. I once went to the gym in the morning without having coffee first and nearly fell off of the elliptical. Not kidding. Post morning coffee, I feel calm, cool and collected. Needless to say, this is one of my favorite parts of the day. The one problem with my lingering morning coffee is that I don’t leave myself much time for breakfast.

    Some people can get away with skipping breakfast. I am not one of those people.

    Green Chile and Cheddar Egg Muffin

    With egg muffins you prepare ahead of time, pop in the microwave, and have a hot breakfast waiting for you every morning. How easy is that?!

    Green Chile Egg Muffins

    These muffins are packed with Hatch Green Chiles and cheddar cheese. They are light and ultra-portable.

    In case the Hatch Green Chiles weren't enough to draw you in, take a look at some of the benefits to eating breakfast.

    Benefits of Eating a Healthy Breakfast

    • Increased concentration and attention span
    • May improve mood
    •  Helps you beat the mid-morning slump
    • May help with weight management (i.e. you are less likely to eat an extra cherry cream cheese kolache/ cinnamon roll/ doughnut when you are not starving)

    Prepare these egg muffins the night before and have a hot breakfast ready in less than 30 seconds in the morning!
