Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs preferably fresh
  • 2 tablespoons milk whole, almond, or oat milk
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheese cheddar, feta, or your choice
  • 1/2 cup chopped vegetables bell peppers, spinach, or leftover cooked veggies
  • 1/4 cup cooked meats bacon crumbles, sausage bits, or turkey sausage
  • to taste salt and pepper adjust to preference
  • optional dried herbs or spices smoked paprika, chili flakes, herbs

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease your muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they’re smooth and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds. Add your choice of milk and season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs, then whisk again to combine.
  3. Chop your vegetables and cooked meats into small, even pieces, then fold them gently into the beaten eggs. Add shredded cheese last, folding just enough to distribute evenly without overmixing.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each well of the prepared muffin tin, filling about 3/4 full to allow room for puffing.
  5. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and puffed. The muffins should feel firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  6. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Use a small spatula or knife to loosen the edges, then transfer to a plate or wire rack.
  7. Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They’re perfect for breakfast on the go or storing in the fridge for quick bites later. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds until steaming.

Notes

Feel free to customize with your favorite ingredients and seasonings. For a dairy-free version, omit cheese and use plant-based milk. These muffins store well and are perfect for meal prep.
