Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 10 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Fillings
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- ½ cup bell peppers, diced
- ½ cup spinach, chopped
- â…“ cup cooked, crumbled protein (sausage, bacon, or turkey)
- ¼ cup green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Eggs and Seasoning: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Add Fillings: Evenly distribute the shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, cooked crumbled protein, and sliced green onions into each muffin cup.
- Fill with Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each muffin cup, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for the muffins to puff up while baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are fully set and have a lightly golden top.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes so they firm up slightly, then carefully remove them from the muffin tin.
- Store: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze them for longer storage to enjoy convenient breakfasts anytime.

- Use any cheese varieties you like for different flavors.
