Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, mushrooms, or tomatoes)
- 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, sausage, or diced ham (optional)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing the muffin tin
Instructions:
‍
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
‍
2. Prepare Egg Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
‍
3. Prepare Muffin Tin:
Divide the diced vegetables, and cooked meat (if using), and shredded cheese evenly among the wells of the greased muffin tin.
‍
4. Pour Egg Mixture:
Pour the egg mixture into each well, filling them about 3/4 full. Leave some room for expansion as the ingredients will rise slightly when baked.
‍
5. Stir Gently:
Gently stir each well with a fork to ensure the vegetables, meat, and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
‍
6. Bake in the Oven:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the egg muffins are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
‍
7. Cool and Serve:
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg muffins cool for a few minutes. Use a butter knife or spatula to carefully remove the muffins from the tin.
‍
8. Enjoy Warm or Store:
Serve the egg muffins warm and enjoy immediately. Alternatively, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
