Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 cup of chopped ham or bacon (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1/2 cup of chopped white onion
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
Instructions
- Optional: sauté the meat and veggies in an oiled skillet and set aside on a paper towel to cool & drain.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tin heavily with cooking spray. (Please note that a silicon muffin tin works best.) Set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, and spices in a large bowl.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese, ham, and veggies.
- Fill the muffin tins. I find it best to use a ladle and stir between each scoop to keep the ingredients evenly distributed across all the muffins.
- Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the eggs pull away from the side of the muffin tin and are set in the middle.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days.
