Ingredients
– 6 large eggs
– 1 cup of milk
– 1 cup of diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, etc.)

Instructions
Creating Egg Muffins is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your muffins bake evenly.
2. Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin or use silicone muffin liners to prevent sticking.
3. Whisk Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
4. Season: Add salt and black pepper to taste, mixing well with the egg mixture.
5. Add Veggies: Fold in your choice of diced vegetables. This is the perfect time to get creative!
6. Incorporate Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheese. If you’re using meat or herbs, add those now.
7. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling each about ¾ full. This allows room for the muffins to rise.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and tops are golden.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
10. Remove Muffins: Carefully remove the muffins from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack.
These steps will guide you in creating your incredible Egg Muffins without hassle.
