Looking for a quick, nutritious, and satisfying night snack? A savory egg muffin is the perfect choice. Packed with protein and easy to customize, it can be made in advance and enjoyed whenever hunger strikes.
Ingredients Needed
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1/4 cup cooked vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: cooked bacon or ham pieces
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a silicone muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked vegetables, and optional cooked meats. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
Serving and Storage Tips
Let the egg muffins cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. They can be enjoyed warm or cold.
For convenience, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave for 30-40 seconds before eating.
