Ingredients
-
- 6 large eggs
-
- ½ cup milk (any kind)
-
- 1 cup chopped vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions)
-
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or favorite)
-
- ½ tsp salt
-
- ¼ tsp black pepper
-
- Optional: cooked bacon, sausage, or ham
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray, making sure to coat sides and bottom thoroughly.
Whisk eggs and milk together in large bowl until smooth, well combined, and slightly frothy. The milk creates lighter, fluffier texture while the whisking incorporates air for maximum fluffiness in finished muffins.
Add chopped vegetables, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper to egg mixture. Stir gently to combine evenly without overmixing
Pour egg mixture into prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. This leaves room for slight puffing during baking without overflow
Bake for 20-25 minutes until egg muffins are set in center and lightly golden on top. They’re done when centers no longer jiggle and knife inserted comes out clean with no wet egg clinging to it.
Allow muffins to cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing with butter knife or offset spatula. This cooling period helps them set up properly and makes removal much easier without breaking apart or leaving pieces stuck in pan.
Notes
Pat vegetables very dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture in muffins.
Pre-shred your own cheese for better melting than pre-shredded varieties.
Fill muffin cups only three-quarters full to prevent overflow during baking.
Store in airtight container refrigerated for up to 5 days for meal prep. Freeze individual muffins wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 months. Reheat refrigerated muffins in microwave for 30-45 seconds until hot.
Try different cheese varieties like pepper jack, Swiss, or feta for variety.
Add fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil for extra flavor boost.
