Step 4: Add the Fillings
Stir in the chopped vegetables and shredded cheese. Make sure everything is evenly distributed so each muffin gets a good mix.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tin
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full. This allows room for the muffins to rise while baking.
Step 6: Bake
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top. You can test by inserting a toothpick—it should come out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Success
- Make it fun: Use colorful vegetables to make the muffins more visually appealing.
- Customize flavors: Add cooked chicken, turkey, or tofu for extra protein.
- Avoid sogginess: Don’t overfill with watery vegetables like tomatoes unless you remove excess moisture.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for a quick meal.
