👩🍳 How to Make Egg Muffin Cups

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners for easy release.

Dice your vegetables and cooked meat. Shred cheese if needed.
✅ Step 3: Whisk Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices.
✅ Step 4: Assemble Muffin Cups
Evenly distribute veggies, meat, and cheese into each muffin cup. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about ¾ full.
✅ Step 5: Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg is fully set and slightly golden. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing.
