Ingredients
Scale
- 24 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream (for extra fluffiness)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon bits
- 1 cup finely chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup finely diced onions
Instructions
- Prep and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously grease two 12-cup muffin tins with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Whisk the Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 24 eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined and smooth.
- Layer the Fillings: Evenly distribute the chopped vegetables, cooked meat, and shredded cheese into the bottom of the 24 muffin cups.
- Pour and Stir: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup until about 1/4-inch from the top. Give each a gentle stir with a toothpick to ensure the egg reaches the bottom.
- Bake to Golden: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are firm and the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Store: Let the muffins cool completely in the pan before removing. For long-term storage, flash-freeze on a tray before transferring to a freezer-safe bag.
Notes
Don’t skip greasing the pans—eggs are notoriously sticky! Use silicone liners for the easiest removal. For the best texture, sauté high-moisture vegetables like mushrooms or spinach before adding them to the cups. Wrap muffins in a paper towel when reheating in the microwave to maintain moisture.
