Description

Delicious and easy ham and cheese egg muffins perfect for breakfast or a quick snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups finely diced ham
  • 1 1/3 cups finely grated Mexican Blend Cheese
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeds and stem cut away and finely diced
  • 3 thinly sliced green onions (optional, but recommended)
  • 15 eggs, beaten well
  • 2 tsp. Spike seasoning (or use any seasoning blend that is good with eggs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
  2. Spray silicone baking cups with nonstick spray.
  3. Dice ham and green pepper and slice green onions.
  4. In the bottom of the baking cups layer the ham, green pepper, green onions, and cheese, dividing each equally among the 12 baking cups.
  5. Break eggs into a bowl or large measuring cup that has a pour spout, then beat eggs and Spike Seasoning with a fork until they are well combined.
  6. Pour eggs over the other ingredients until the muffin cups are nearly full, but not quite reaching the top.
  7. Take a small fork and gently “stir” to distribute the ingredients in the egg mixture.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and starting to brown slightly.
  9. Egg muffins will keep well in the refrigerator for at least a week. They can be reheated in the microwave for 45-60 seconds.

Notes

  • Check muffins after 22 minutes if you prefer them less browned.
  • Do not freeze, as they release liquid when thawed.
  • Microwave carefully to avoid rubbery texture.
