Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Muffin Cups:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach, tomatoes)
  • 1 cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
  • 1 cup cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, feta)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare the Muffin Tin:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    • Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with muffin liners.

  2. Whisk the Eggs:

    • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

  3. Add Veggies and Meat (Optional):

    • Optional: Sauté veggies (like onions, bell peppers, or spinach) in a little oil for 2-3 minutes.

    • If using meat like bacon or sausage, cook it first and crumble it into small pieces.

  4. Assemble the Muffin Cups:

    • Divide the cooked veggies and meat evenly among the muffin tin cups.

    • Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about ¾ full.

    • Top with cheese.

  5. Bake the Muffin Cups:

    • Bake for 15-18 minutes until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.

    • The tops should bounce back when lightly touched.

  6. Cool & Serve:

    • Let the muffin cups cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.

    • Serve immediately or store for later.


Notes

  • Don’t Overfill – Leave space at the top of each cup to prevent overflow.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients – Freshly chopped veggies and cheeses offer the best flavor.
  • Keep Them Fluffy – Stir the eggs gently to keep them soft and fluffy.
