Ingredients

12 servings
Eggs12 large
Protein (choose one)6 slices, cooked and crumbled
Vegetables (choose 1–2)1 cup packed, chopped
Cheese (choose one)1 cup shredded
Optional garnish2 tbsp sliced

Method

1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.

2

Cook your chosen protein (bacon, sausage, etc.) until crispy if using raw; let cool slightly and chop into small pieces. Finely chop your chosen vegetables.

3

Crack all eggs into a large mixing bowl, add heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and whisk until well combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.

4

Gently fold in the cooked protein, chopped vegetables, and shredded cheese until evenly distributed.

5

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

6

Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Eggs will continue to set slightly as they cool.

7

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 2–3 minutes, then run a small knife around the edges and pop them out onto a serving plate. Garnish with fresh green onion or herbs if desired.
