Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup finely diced green onion

  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Non-stick spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil.

  2. Mix eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.

  3. Add mix-ins: Stir in shredded cheddar, diced green onion, and any cooked meats or vegetables.

  4. Fill muffin cups: Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling about three-quarters full.

  5. Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until eggs are fully set and tops are golden brown.

  6. Cool and serve: Let muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.

  • Vegetarian option: Omit meat and add spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for a veggie-packed version.

  • Extra flavor: Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika, chili flakes, or fresh herbs like parsley or chives before baking.

  • Freezer-friendly: Freeze cooked muffins individually and reheat as needed for a quick breakfast.
