Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Preferred herbs and spices (e.g., dill, chives, parsley), optional

Vegetables

  • Spinach, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • Bell peppers, diced (1/2 cup)
  • Tomatoes, diced (1/2 cup)

Cheese

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

Optional Proteins

  • Bacon, cooked and chopped (1/2 cup)
  • Sausage, cooked and chopped (1/2 cup)
  • Ham, diced (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop vegetables into small, uniform pieces for even cooking. Cut cooked meats into bite-sized chunks. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Whisk Eggs and Dairy: In a bowl, thoroughly whisk together eggs and milk or cream until combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt, pepper, and any preferred herbs or spices.
  3. Assemble in the Muffin Tin: Spray each muffin cup with non-stick spray or grease with butter. Evenly distribute chopped vegetables, meats, and cheese into each cup. Pour egg mixture over the fillings, filling cups about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake: Place muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes until eggs are fully set and edges are slightly golden. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing with a butter knife or spatula. Serve warm or store for later.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables and high-quality eggs for best flavor.
  • Don’t overfill muffin cups; fill about 3/4 full to avoid overflow.
  • Chop all mix-ins uniformly for even cooking.
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly to firm up for easier removal.
  • Non-stick spray helps prevent sticking and eases cleanup.
