- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chopped cooked meat (ham, turkey, or bacon)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, or onions)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Distribute the cooked meat, cheese, and chopped vegetables evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden.
- Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a small spatula.
- For meal prep, allow the cups to cool completely before storing.
Notes
- To freeze, place cooled egg cups in a freezer-safe bag or container. They keep well for up to one month.
- Reheat frozen egg cups in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds, or until warmed through.
- You can substitute any cooked protein or vegetable you prefer for variety.
