How to Make Muffin Tin Breakfast Eggs for a Fast Morning Bite
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Muffin Tin
Start by cranking your oven up to 375°F (190°C). Give your 12-cup muffin tin a generous coat of nonstick cooking spray. This step is essential—it’ll help your Muffin Tin Breakfast Eggs for a Fast Morning Bite release cleanly and look beautiful when you pop them out.
Step 2: Whisk Together the Eggs and Milk
Crack all eight eggs into a large mixing bowl and add the milk. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth, pale yellow, and just a bit frothy. The milk helps make the eggs tender, ensuring your muffins are light instead of rubbery.
Step 3: Stir in the Good Stuff
Now, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, crumbled bacon or sausage, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Give it all a quick stir so every spoonful is filled with savory bits of goodness.
Step 4: Pour and Portion
Evenly divide the egg mixture among your prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way. This gives the eggs room to puff up as they bake—plus a perfect, generous portion for each Muffin Tin Breakfast Egg for a Fast Morning Bite.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Pop the pan on the middle rack and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the tops are puffed, set, and ever-so-slightly golden. Let them cool a couple of minutes before running a butter knife around the edges and removing each one with care.
