LibbyEgg buddies are the easiest way to start the day. While there’s some prep and pre-planning involved, the morning of, it’s a 10-second zap (or eat ’em cold) and you’re nourished with the mighty protein of eggs all day. Eggs are the perfect adaptable food, and this recipe lets them shine in all their glory. While Starbucks and Timmy Ho’s are selling their eggs-to-go, save money, and the environment, by making these little wonders at home, with whatever you have on hand.
Eggs are easy! Make ahead with leftovers!
I usually whip up a batch of buddies after cleaning up after Taco Tuesday, any leftover cheeses, veggies, herbs and onions lend themselves well to egg buddies. But really, anything goes! Add some bacon or ham and cheese for a powerhouse of protein, or jam it full of peppers and tomatoes for a good dose of your 5-10. Keep them small and use a mini-muffin tray, or go biggie-sized muffins for a nice handheld option.
Anything goes with eggs!

What will you add to your eggs? Either way, ramp up the nutritional benefits and always reach for omega-rich eggs for added nutrients.
