Ingredients

Makes 12 egg muffins

• 8 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
• 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.

I usually grease the pan really well because eggs love to stick, especially around the edges.

Step 2: Prepare the Fillings

Add chopped green onions, bell peppers, bacon bits, and a little cheese evenly into each muffin cup.

You can honestly use whatever you have in the fridge. I’ve added spinach, mushrooms, sausage, and even leftover roasted vegetables before.

Step 3: Mix the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• Eggs
• Milk
• Salt
• Black pepper

Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin

Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full.

Top with the remaining shredded cheese.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are puffed and lightly golden.

The centers should be fully set when you gently shake the pan.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let the egg muffins cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the pan.

Honestly, they smell so good fresh from the oven that waiting is the hardest part.

Cooking Tips for Perfect Egg Muffins

Don’t Overfill the Muffin Cups

The eggs puff up while baking, so leave a little space at the top.

Use Full-Fat Cheese

I think full-fat cheddar gives the best flavor and texture.

Silicone Muffin Trays Work Great

If you make egg muffins often, silicone trays make cleanup much easier.

Make Them Ahead

These store beautifully in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freeze for Busy Mornings

I usually freeze a batch and reheat them in the microwave for quick breakfasts.

Serving Suggestions

These cheesy egg muffins pair perfectly with:

• Fresh fruit
• Toast or English muffins
• Crispy hash browns
• Avocado slices
• Side salad for lunch
• Hot coffee or fresh juice

For brunch gatherings, I love serving them on a large platter with different dipping sauces and fresh herbs.
