Cook breakfast for the whole family at once with this cheesy bake. Serve with lots of crusty bread for scooping up every last bite.

At first glance, these muffins might look like the run-of-the-mill chocolate variety, but wheat bran and grated zucchini add heft, texture and just the right amount of feel-good breakfast vibes. —Assistant Food Editor Joy Cho
