Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, mushrooms, etc.)
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Preparation:
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the muffin tin
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375F (190C) and coating a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil for seamless release.
- Create a harmonious egg base by vigorously whisking eggs, milk, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Enhance the egg mixture by gently folding in diced vegetables and shredded cheese, ensuring even distribution throughout the liquid.
- Carefully distribute the enriched egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity approximately three-quarters full to allow proper rising.
- Position the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, monitoring until the egg muffins develop a golden exterior and maintain a firm, set texture.
- After removing from the oven, let the muffins rest briefly in the tin to stabilize their structure, then delicately extract them using a spatula or knife.
- Serve immediately while warm for optimal flavor and texture, or allow to cool completely for convenient storage and future consumption.
Notes
- Customize mix-ins based on personal taste preferences or seasonal vegetables for variety.
- Prep ingredients in advance to streamline morning cooking and ensure quick, nutritious breakfast.
- Use silicone muffin liners for easier removal and minimal cleanup, preventing stuck egg muffins.
- Experiment with different cheese types like feta, cheddar, or goat cheese to enhance flavor profiles.
