Loaded Breakfast Egg Muffins


  • Author: Patricia

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (substitute for pepperjack or habanero cheese for a spicier muffin)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (or sliced lunch meat)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion (optional garnish)
  • Bottle of Cholula (for garnish or dipping)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Non-stick spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with non-stick spray or olive oil.
  2. Sauté Vegetables and Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions, mushrooms, and any uncooked meats (like sausage) until the onions are soft and the meat is fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Add Mix-Ins: Stir in the cooked vegetables, meats, cheeses, cilantro, and anything else.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are golden.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.
