INGREDIENTS
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked ham
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing the muffin tin
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk again to combine.
Stir in the chopped ham, chopped spinach, and grated cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Mix everything well until evenly distributed.
Pour the egg mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and slightly golden on top.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, the Green Egg and Ham Breakfast Muffins are ready to serve. Enjoy them warm or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast option throughout the week.
TIPS
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrients.
You can use turkey or chicken ham instead of regular ham for a healthier option.
If you prefer a dairy-free version, you can use plant-based milk and dairy-free cheese.
These muffins are versatile and can be customized to your taste preferences. Add herbs, spices, or hot sauce for an extra kick.
Serve the muffins with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad to complete your breakfast.
