Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

Cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or crumbled feta cheese

Optional Protein

  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, sausage, ham, or diced turkey

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by chopping your vegetables and cooking any meat if you’re including it. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone cups for easy cleanup.
  2. Whisk the Eggs and Dairy: In a large bowl, vigorously whisk eggs with milk or cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy, creating a light and airy batter.
  3. Combine All Ingredients: Fold your veggies, cheese, and cooked proteins gently into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution in every muffin.
  4. Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full so they rise perfectly without spilling over.
  5. Bake Until Set: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until the egg muffins are puffed, golden around the edges, and firm to the touch.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve immediately or pack them for a grab-and-go breakfast!

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables and eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overfill the muffin cups to ensure even cooking and proper rising.
  • Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean when muffins are done.
  • Nonstick or silicone muffin tins make removal easier and prevent damage.
  • Cool muffins completely before freezing to maintain texture and freshness.
