- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 green onions, sliced thin
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and coat a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray, ensuring every surface is well-covered.
- Crack 12 large eggs into a spacious mixing bowl and pour in ½ cup milk.
- Whisk the eggs and milk together until they form a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Season the egg blend with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder.
- Dice 8 ounces of ham steak into small, bite-sized cubes.
- Slice 2 green onions into thin rings.
- Fold ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ham cubes, and green onion rings into the seasoned egg mixture.
- Distribute the egg mixture evenly across the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup cheddar cheese on top of each muffin.
- Slide the muffin tin into the 350°F oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Check doneness by ensuring eggs have pulled away from tin sides and centers are completely set.
Notes
- Greasing the muffin tin thoroughly prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Use a silicone muffin tin for the best non-stick results and easiest removal of egg muffins.
- Whisk eggs completely to create a smooth, uniform texture throughout the muffins.
- For a low-carb version, skip the milk and add a splash of heavy cream instead.
