Ingredients For Cheesy Egg Muffins Recipe

  • 10 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup milk (optional for fluffiness)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar (or any cheese you like)

  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, ham, or sausage (optional)

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions or chives

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Optional add-ins: bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, jalapeños

Instructions

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

  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined.

  3. Add cheese, cooked bacon/ham/veggies, green onions, salt, and pepper.

  4. Pour the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full.

  5. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are golden.

  6. Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove from tin. Serve warm or store.

Notes

  • These reheat really well — microwave for 30 seconds.

  • You can freeze them for up to 2 months. Just thaw and reheat.

  • Try different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or feta for variety.

  • For keto or low-carb diets, skip milk and add heavy cream or more cheese.

  • Silicone muffin tins work best for easy release.

Tips

  • Spray your muffin tin generously to avoid sticking.

  • Chop all add-ins into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

  • Don’t overbake — they can get rubbery if cooked too long.

  • Mix egg base ahead of time and refrigerate overnight to save time in the morning.
