Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup half-and-half
  • 1 cup diced cooked ham
  • 3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 2/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Add Fillings: Stir in the diced ham, chopped red bell pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Fill the Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ full.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and slightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Enjoy warm or store in the refrigerator for an easy meal prep breakfast.

Notes

  • Customization: Swap the ham for cooked turkey, bacon, or even sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Replace half-and-half with unsweetened almond milk and use dairy-free cheese or omit it altogether.
  • More Flavor: Add chopped onions, spinach, or jalapeños for extra taste and texture.
