Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup cooked ham, diced
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Nonstick cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line each cup with paper liners.

Step 2: Make the Egg Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and well combined. Add the salt and black pepper.

Step 3: Add the Fillings

Stir in the diced ham, bell pepper, shredded cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.

Step 4: Fill the Muffin Cups

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. The muffins will puff up as they bake.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set in the center and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them. Serve warm or let them cool completely for meal prep storage.
