Grab-and-go breakfast alert! If you're a frequent flyer here at The Life Jolie, then you know I have a penchant for recipes using pre-made puff pastry. What can I say, it's so easy and so delicious. So it was pretty much inevitable that at some point I would share a recipe for breakfast egg muffins featuring puff pastry. Like my puff pastry pizza recipe!
I kept this egg muffin recipe pretty simple with bacon, eggs and cheese. Nothing like a classic! But you can totally take these in any direction you want. And if you do, I'd really love for you to comment and tell me what fillings you went with!
Tips for making puff pastry egg muffin cups:
- Grease your muffin pan
well! These little guys are so tasty but they tend to stick, so be liberal with the cooking spray! - Crumble the bacon after you've fried it instead of chopping prior to cooking. It's so much easier and less time consuming.
- Use a pizza cutter to easily cut the raw puff pastry. Simple and easy hack!
- Gently poke the bottoms of the puff pastry with a fork before filling it to keep it from puffing up. The keyword here is gently. You don't want to poke it all the way through. Do this once the dough is in the muffin cups.
- Whip the egg mixture super well. This will make it nice and fluffy.
- Serve immediately. These are definitely best right out of the oven. That being said, they will last in the fridge for a few days as well and are still pretty tasty if you pop them in the microwave for around 30 seconds.

- Divide cheese between all muffin cups.
- In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, milk and salt and pepper to taste.
