Ham, sausage, or bacon

Sharp cheddar or your preferred cheese (Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack also work well)

How to Make Egg Muffins:

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously grease a muffin tin with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

Mixing and Pouring:

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk thoroughly. Add milk, veggies, and cheese, gently stirring the mixture.

Filling the Muffin Tin:

Evenly pour the mixture into the muffin tin, topping each with a sprinkle of cheese for an extra savory touch.

Baking:

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are cooked through, and a golden brown edge forms.

Cooling and Serving:

Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes, then use a knife to loosen each muffin before serving.

Tips for Success:

For watery veggies like mushrooms, pre-cook them briefly to remove excess moisture.

Ensure thorough greasing of the muffin tin or opt for silicone or parchment liners to prevent sticking.

Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full to accommodate puffing during baking.

Use a butter knife along the edges for easy removal.

Storing, Freezing, & Reheating Egg Muffins:

Refrigerate for up to 5 days after baking.

Freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight container or freezer bag.

Reheat thawed muffins in the microwave for 40 to 60 seconds, adjusting for multiple muffins or reheating from frozen.
