Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fillings
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
Others
- Cooking spray for greasing muffin tin
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and 1/2 cup of milk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add Fillings: Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, 1/4 cup diced bell peppers, and 1/4 cup diced onions. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Season: Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the mixture. Adjust seasoning to taste, ensuring a balanced flavor.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow space for the eggs to expand during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set in the center and the tops turn a light golden color.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool slightly for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove each muffin and serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the breakfast sausage with cooked bacon or turkey sausage for a different protein option.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and add extra vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.
- These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties such as mozzarella or pepper jack for variation.
- Make sure not to overfill the muffin cups to prevent overflow during baking.
- Using a silicone muffin tin or paper liners can help with easier removal and cleanup.
