Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
- Eggs
- Milk
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add the Fillings
Stir in
- Cheddar cheese
- Parmesan cheese (if using)
- Green onions
- Bell peppers
- Parsley
Add any optional ingredients you’d like and mix gently.
Step 4: Fill the Muffin Cups
Evenly divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are puffed up, lightly golden, and set in the center.
To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Run a butter knife around the edges if needed, then carefully remove and serve warm.
