How To Make Egg Muffins
This egg muffin recipe is so easy that you only have to follow 3 steps:
- PREPARE: Preheat the oven to 300 °F (150° C). Grease very well a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and reserve. Meanwhile, blend the eggs, cheddar, cream cheese, and seasonings in the blender until frothy. Pour the mixture into the greased muffin tin (¾ full) and top with the broccoli and bacon.
2. BAKE: Place muffin tin into a large roasting pan with boiling water coming halfway up. Bake the egg muffin mixture for about 25-27 minutes. They are ready when breakfast muffins are just set and have a custard-like texture.
3. SERVE: Let the muffin pan cool on a rack for 2 minutes, run a knife around the edges to loosen them, and gently remove bites. You may use a spoon or invert them over a platter. Don’t wait much longer than 2 minutes or they may become difficult to remove. Serve while hot or warm, or chill in the fridge for up to 3 days.
