Easy Breakfast Egg Muffins Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make Easy Breakfast Egg Muffins:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
- 1/2 cup chopped vegetables bell peppers, spinach, onions, tomatoes
- 1/4 cup cooked meat optional – chicken, turkey, or beef
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or a little oil
How to Make Easy Breakfast Egg Muffins
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, then whisk everything together until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly fluffy. Add salt and black pepper to taste, and mix again so the flavor spreads evenly. This mixture is like the “base” of your muffins, so make sure it’s well combined.
Step 2: Prepare the Fillings
Chop your vegetables into small pieces so they cook quickly and evenly. If you are using cooked meat, cut it into small chunks. Add the vegetables, cheese, and meat into the egg mixture or place a little in each muffin cup both ways work fine.
Step 3: Fill the Muffin Cups
Grease your muffin tin with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Then pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them about 3/4 full so they don’t overflow while baking.
Step 4: Bake
Place the muffin tin in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F). Bake for about 18–22 minutes until the egg muffins are set, firm in the middle, and slightly golden on top.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg muffins cool for a few minutes. Carefully take them out using a spoon or knife, then serve warm and enjoy!
