Instructions

Prepare the Muffin Tin Baked Eggs Batter:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or use silicone muffin cups for easy removal.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
  3. Add the Fillings: Stir in your desired add-ins, such as diced bell peppers, onions, spinach, cheese, and any additional vegetables or cooked protein. Mix until evenly distributed.

Bake the Muffin Tin Baked Eggs:

  1. Pour the Mixture into the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling them about 3/4 full. You should have enough mixture for all 12 cups.
  2. Bake: Bake the eggs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges are slightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  3. Cool Slightly: Allow the baked eggs to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.

Serve the Muffin Tin Baked Eggs:

  1. Serve Immediately: Serve the Muffin Tin Baked Eggs while they’re warm. You can top them with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of extra cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce for added flavor.
