Cheese Options:
– 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, feta, or your choice)
Optional Add-ins:
– Cooked bacon or sausage (diced)
– Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or cilantro)
– Hot sauce or spices (for extra flavor)
Equipment Needed
– Muffin tin (12-cup)
– Mixing bowl
– Whisk or fork
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Cooking spray or muffin liners
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
Grease the muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
3. Whisk the Eggs:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Prepare the Vegetables:
Chop your chosen vegetables into small, uniform pieces. This ensures even cooking and easy eating.
5. Combine Ingredients:
Stir the diced vegetables, cheese, and any optional add-ins into the egg mixture. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
6. Fill the Muffin Tin:
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full. This will allow room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
7. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
8. Cool and Remove:
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully remove them from the tin and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve or Store:
Enjoy the egg muffins warm, or let them cool completely before storing. They can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
Serving Suggestions
– Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.
– Pair with whole-grain toast or avocado for added nutrition.
Tips and Notes
– Customization: Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, cheeses, and proteins based on your preferences.
– Meal Prep: These egg muffins are perfect for meal prep. Make a batch on the weekend and enjoy them throughout the week.
– Freezing: To freeze, place cooled muffins in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to eat.
– Microwave Option: If you’re short on time, you can also make these in a microwave-safe mug for a quick single serving.
– Check for Doneness: Ovens vary, so keep an eye on your muffins towards the end of the baking time.
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious egg muffins! They’re a great way to start your day or a perfect snack anytime.
