Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe and why each ingredient matters.

Eggs: Act as the main structure and protein base that holds each muffin together.
Bell peppers: Add color texture and mild sweetness to balance the eggs.
Green onions: Provide light onion flavor without overpowering the muffins.
Cooked bacon or sausage: Adds savory depth and makes the muffins more filling.
Shredded cheese: Melts into the eggs for richness and helps bind the ingredients.
Salt: Enhances the natural flavors of the eggs and vegetables.
Black pepper: Adds gentle warmth and balance.

Tools You’ll Need

Mixing bowl: Used to combine eggs and fillings evenly before baking.
Whisk: Helps fully blend the eggs for a smooth texture.
Muffin tin: Shapes the egg mixture into individual portions.
Nonstick spray: Prevents sticking and ensures easy removal.
Oven: Bakes the muffins evenly so they set without drying out.

Instructions

Step 1 Prepare the Ingredients

I begin by chopping the vegetables and making sure any meat is already cooked. I crack the eggs into a bowl then add salt and pepper and whisk until fully combined. This step ensures the muffins bake evenly and have a consistent texture.

Step 2 Add Fillings

I stir in the vegetables cooked meat and shredded cheese making sure everything is evenly distributed. I like to mix gently so the ingredients stay well balanced without breaking down.

Step 3 Fill the Muffin Tin

I grease the muffin tin well then pour the egg mixture into each cup filling them almost to the top. I gently tap the pan to release any air bubbles and help the mixture settle evenly.

Step 4 Bake and Cool

I bake the muffins until they are fully set and lightly golden on top. Once done I let them cool in the pan briefly before transferring them to a rack so they finish cooling without becoming soggy.

Tips

I always let the muffins cool before storing because trapped steam can cause moisture buildup. If I want variety I change the vegetables or cheese while keeping the egg base the same. For easy removal I make sure the muffin tin is well greased or use liners.
