Ingredients
Scale
- 10 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (regular or plant-based)
- 1 cup (120 g) shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or mozzarella)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, spinach, zucchini, onions, finely chopped)
- Cooked protein (e.g., bacon, sausage, shredded chicken, black beans, or tofu crumbles)
- Seasonings (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, parsley, or basil)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray or line it with muffin liners.
- Wash and chop your veggies into small, even pieces. Sauté firmer veggies like onions and bell peppers for 2-3 minutes to soften them.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk 10 large eggs with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of milk. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and any additional seasonings.
- Stir in 1 cup (120 g) of shredded cheese, your cooked veggies, and any proteins. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and slightly golden. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.
- Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store for later.
Notes
For best results, use fresh ingredients and pre-cooked proteins. Avoid overmixing to maintain a smooth texture. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
