Ingredients

For the Egg Base

8 large eggs essential for that fluffy texture.
0.5 cup milk adds creaminess to the eggs.

For the Filling

1 cup diced ham (cooked) brings a savory punch that complements the eggs beautifully.
1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded) enhances the flavor with a delightful melt.
0.5 cup bell peppers (diced) adds sweetness and a pop of color.
0.25 cup spinach (chopped, optional) a great way to sneak in some greens!

For Seasoning

0.25 teaspoon salt balances the flavors perfectly.
0.25 teaspoon black pepper adds just the right amount of warmth.

Equipment

muffin tin
mixing bowl

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your muffin tin.
Whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
Stir in the diced ham, shredded cheese, and your choice of vegetables, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until set and slightly golden on top.
Cool slightly, then carefully remove the egg cups from the muffin tin.
