How to Make 4-Ingredient Savory Egg Muffins
Prepare the pan
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a muffin tin lightly so the egg muffins do not stick.
Fill the muffin cups
Divide the chopped vegetables and cooked meat evenly into the muffin cups.
Sprinkle in the shredded cheese.
Add the eggs
In a bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
Add a little salt and black pepper if you like.
Pour the eggs into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are puffed and set in the center.
They should look lightly golden around the edges.
Cool and serve
Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
Serve warm.
They are great on their own, and also very good when eaten standing in the kitchen pretending you are too busy to sit down.
Helpful Tips
Use cooked bacon, ham, or sausage for easy extra flavor.
Do not overfill the muffin cups because the eggs puff as they bake.
These keep well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
Reheat briefly in the microwave or oven.
