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 right temperature for even baking of the egg muffins.
- Mix the Eggs and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and 1/2 cup milk until fully combined and slightly frothy, which helps create light muffins.
- Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Stir in the diced vegetables, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well mixed, distributing the flavors evenly throughout the egg mixture.
- Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or use silicone muffin liners to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of the muffins after baking.
- Fill the Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about two-thirds full to allow room for the muffins to rise while baking.
- Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are fully set in the center and slightly golden on top.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes before attempting to remove them from the tin to prevent breaking.
- Serve or Store: Serve the muffins warm or allow them to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making them convenient for quick breakfasts.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the vegetables and cheese to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs.
- Using silicone liners can make cleanup easier and muffin removal smoother.
- These muffins can be frozen for up to 1 month; reheat before serving.
- To make dairy-free, substitute milk with almond milk and use dairy-free cheese.
- For extra flavor, add herbs like chives or parsley.
