Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or kale
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion or shallots

Cheese & Herbs

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or crumbled feta cheese
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Optional Variations

  • Cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (about 1/4 cup)
  • Mushrooms, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes (1/2 cup)
  • Diced jalapeños or chili flakes (to taste)
  • Alternative cheeses such as mozzarella, goat cheese, or dairy-free cheese
  • Herbs like basil, thyme, or dill (1-2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely chop all vegetables and shred the cheese if necessary. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy to create tender, fluffy muffins.
  3. Add Veggies, Cheese, and Herbs: Fold in chopped vegetables, cheese, and any fresh herbs, mixing evenly for flavorful and colorful muffins.
  4. Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow for proper rising without spills.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the muffins have set and the tops are light golden brown. Test doneness with a toothpick which should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store for later use.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for fluffier muffins.
  • Do not overfill muffin cups to avoid spilling.
  • Chop ingredients evenly so every bite has a balanced flavor.
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the tin to prevent breaking.
  • Try different cheeses like mozzarella, goat cheese, or pepper jack for variety.
