Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 large eggs
- 8 ounces ham steak
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup skim milk
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 green onions
Instructions
- Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage at 350°F.
- Crack 12 large eggs into a mixing bowl with ½ cup milk, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder.
- Whisk the egg mixture until your ingredients are completely blended and smooth.
- Fold ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, 8 ounces cubed ham steak, and 2 sliced green onions into the liquid mixture.
- Distribute the egg mixture evenly across the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup cheddar cheese on top of each filled muffin cup.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 25-30 minutes.
- Check for doneness by ensuring eggs have pulled away from tin sides and center looks completely set.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing muffins from tin.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Spray the muffin tin generously to prevent sticking, with a silicone tin working best for easy removal.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to create a smooth, uniform mixture that will help your egg muffins have a consistent texture.
- For a protein-packed breakfast, customize with different meats like bacon, turkey, or sausage instead of ham.
- Prep these muffins ahead and freeze for quick, nutritious breakfasts that reheat perfectly in the microwave or toaster oven.
