• Eggs: The star of the show! Eggs provide the protein base and structure for the muffins. We’ll need a good number to fill our muffin tin and create that fluffy texture.
• Shredded Cheese: Choose your favorite! Cheddar, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a blend – cheese adds flavor, creaminess, and that irresistible cheesy pull.
• Milk (or Cream/Half-and-Half): A splash of milk or cream adds moisture and richness to the egg mixture, ensuring the muffins aren’t dry. You can adjust the type depending on how rich you want them.
• Diced Vegetables (Optional but Recommended): Get creative! Bell peppers, onions, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini, or even cooked broccoli florets work wonderfully. Veggies boost the nutritional value and add flavor and texture.
• Cooked Meat (Optional): For a heartier muffin, consider adding cooked and crumbled bacon, sausage, ham, or diced chicken. This increases the protein content and adds savory depth.
• Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, and garlic powder are the basics. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices like onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, or chili flakes for a kick.
• Cooking Spray or Oil: Essential for greasing the muffin tin to prevent sticking and ensure easy muffin removal.
