Ingredients

  • 4 ounces ham sliced or chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese *
  • 3 whole green onions chopped
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream **
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375°F.
  • Spray the muffin pan with cooking spray before adding any ingredients to it. 
  • Place a little ham in each muffin cup.
  • Add a little cheese to each muffin cup.
  • Then sprinkle green onions into each muffin cup.
  • Whisk the eggs together with the heavy whipping cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full; this will leave a little room for expansion in baking.
  • Bake the muffins at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked thru.***
  • Allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before running a table knife around the edges of your muffin cups; then pop out the muffins onto a wire rack. 
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!****

Notes

*You can use any kind of cheese you like, including cheddar, American, pepper Jack, smoked cheese, Queso Fresco, Cotija cheese, etc.
**If you prefer to use milk instead of heavy whipping cream, that's fine; just note you may not need quite as much milk.
***You don't want your egg muffins to get too brown, but you do want to make sure they're thoroughly cooked through. One way to do this is to use a cooking thermometer to check the temperature.
****You can serve them immediately, or you can refrigerate or freeze them. Then pop them in the microwave in the morning, and enjoy a warm breakfast with hardly any effort! They're perfect for a quick, on the go, healthy breakfast!
