Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature for even cooking.
- Whisk eggs and milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and 1/2 cup milk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Add vegetables and seasoning: Stir in the diced vegetables, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the egg mixture. Mix everything well to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Prepare the muffin tin: Grease a muffin tin well or use silicone liners to prevent the muffins from sticking and make removal easier.
- Fill muffin cups: Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the egg muffins are fully set, lightly browned on top, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool slightly: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin to prevent breaking.
- Serve or store: Serve the egg muffins warm for the best taste or store them in the refrigerator for a convenient, protein-packed breakfast later in the week.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the vegetables and cheese to your preference—mushrooms, tomatoes, or kale work well.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To reheat, microwave a muffin for 30-45 seconds until warm.
- Use silicone liners for easy cleanup and muffin removal.
- Adding cooked bacon, sausage, or ham can boost the protein content.
