Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk optional, for fluffier eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or substitute with mozzarella or feta
  • 1/4 cup finely diced green onion
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon sausage, or ham (optional for added protein)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or spinach optional for extra nutrition
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Non-stick spray or olive oil for greasing

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil. Silicone muffin liners work well to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth. Add milk, salt, and pepper to the eggs, whisking again until evenly combined.
  3. Add Mix-Ins: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, green onion, and any additional mix-ins like cooked bacon, sausage, or diced vegetables.
  4. Fill the Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them. Serve warm, or let them cool completely for meal prep.

Notes

  • Customization Options: Add your favorite veggies, proteins, or seasonings to create unique flavor combinations.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
  • Storage Tips: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
