Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, mushrooms)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/3 cup cooked meat (bacon, sausage, or ham), chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with silicone muffin cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and slightly frothy to ensure light, fluffy muffins.
  3. Add Cheese, Vegetables, and Seasonings: Stir in shredded cheese, chopped vegetables, salt, and pepper evenly into the egg mixture.
  4. Fill Muffin Tins: Pour the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
  5. Bake Until Set: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until muffins are fully set in the center and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the pan before removing. Serve warm or store for later consumption.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables and meats into small, uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Do not overfill muffin tins to avoid spills during baking.
  • Use fresh eggs for best texture and flavor.
  • Silicone liners help with easy cleanup and removing the muffins.
  • Start checking muffins at 20 minutes to prevent overbaking.
