How to Bake Eggs in Muffin Tins
I have a couple of tips for successfully baking eggs in muffin tins. First, spray your muffin tin generously to keep the eggs from sticking! When you remove the egg muffins from the oven, run a knife around the eggs to loosen, let cool for a few minutes, and remove from the muffin tin. Also, don’t be surprised if your eggs deflate while cooling – this is perfectly normal! They will puff up while baking and deflate as they cool.
How to Make Broccoli Cheese Egg Muffins
Begin by spraying your muffin tin generously with oil (I prefer avocado oil spray.)
Next, chop the broccoli florets into very small pieces and placing them into the bottom of the muffin cups (about 2 tablespoons in each cup.)
For the eggs, I like to use a large glass measuring cup for easy pouring. Beat the eggs well and season with salt and pepper. Pour eggs over the broccoli, filling each cup 1/2-3/4 full.
Add grated cheddar cheese to each muffin cup. Pro tip: skip the pre shredded bagged cheese from the store and look for raw cheddar blocks in the deli case. Grating your own cheese is an extra step, but totally worth it! Raw cheddar is a cleaner, less processed ingredient and does not contain the preservatives and anti-caking agents included in pre-shredded cheese.
Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, until set. Once cooled, they can be refrigerated until ready to eat.
Variations on Egg Bake Muffins
I love baked egg muffins because they are so versatile! You can use any combination of veggies, meat, or seasonings to change up this recipe. Using the same method, try adding bacon bits, sausage crumbles, diced ham, chopped spinach, chopped tomatoes, diced bell peppers, and other varieties of cheese in place of the broccoli and cheddar.
