Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) . Lightly grease a muffin tin with oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare Fillings
- Chop all vegetables into small, even pieces. If using meat, ensure it is already cooked and diced. For frozen vegetables like spinach, squeeze out excess moisture.
Step 3: Whisk Eggs
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until smooth. Add milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well until slightly frothy.
Step 4: Assemble Muffins
- Evenly distribute the vegetables, cheese, and meat into each muffin cup. Fill each cup about halfway with the mixture.
Step 5: Add Egg Mixture
- Pour the egg mixture over the fillings until each cup is about ¾ full . Do not overfill, as the muffins will rise while baking.
🔥 Cooking Instructions
- Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes . The egg muffins are done when:
- The tops are set and slightly golden
- A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
- Avoid overbaking, as this can make the muffins rubbery.
