Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with oil or non-stick spray, or use silicone liners for easiest removal.Eggs
Step 2: Prepare Add-Ins
Chop any vegetables, meats, or herbs you’re using. Pre-cook any raw meat (bacon, sausage) and sauté harder vegetables (onions, bell peppers, mushrooms) to remove excess moisture.
Step 3: Whisk Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 4: Assemble
Divide add-ins evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture over the add-ins, filling each cup about ¾ full. Stir gently with a fork to distribute.

1. Don’t Overfill
Fill cups about ¾ full—they’ll puff up as they bake.Eggs
2. Grease Generously
Eggs stick. Grease every nook and cranny of your muffin tin, or use silicone liners.
3. Pre-Cook Moist Vegetables
Mushrooms, zucchini, spinach, and onions release water. Sauté them first to remove excess moisture, or your egg muffins will be watery.
4. Use Room Temperature Eggs
Cold eggs can result in uneven baking. Let them sit out for 30 minutes before using.
5. Don’t Overbake
Overbaked egg muffins are rubbery. Pull them when they’re just set—a toothpick should come out clean.

Can I use egg whites only?

Why are my egg muffins watery?
Either you didn’t pre-cook watery vegetables (mushrooms, zucchini, spinach), or you overfilled the cups.Eggs
Why are my egg muffins rubbery?
Overbaked. Pull them when they’re just set.
Can I make these in a silicone muffin pan?
