Creating your Ham and Cheese Egg Muffins is a breeze! Just follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
2. Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners for easy removal.
3. Whisk Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them well. This will ensure a fluffy texture.
4. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and whisk until combined. This adds creaminess to the muffins.
5. Season: Mix in the salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Whether you use these spices is up to your taste preference.
6. Incorporate Ham and Cheese: Fold in the diced ham and shredded cheese. If you’re adding vegetables, toss them in at this stage.
7. Fill Muffin Tins: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins have risen and are golden brown on top.
9. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
10. Serve: Enjoy warm, or store in the refrigerator for later use.
