Making Perfect Egg Muffins: Step-By-Step Guide

Ready to whip up some delicious Egg Muffins? Follow these simple steps with images to guide you through the process. You’ll create fluffy, flavorful muffins with three unique flavor profiles that are perfect for any time of day. Let’s get started and impress your taste buds with these easy-to-make breakfast delights.

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick oil spray.

2. Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

*Note: Make sure to grease your muffin tin properly and use a good-quality non-stick muffin tray. If you’re unsure, use parchment paper or cupcake liners to prevent sticking.

3. Fill Muffin Tins: Add the egg mixture halfway up into each tin of the greased muffin tin.

4. Add Toppings: Divide the three topping combinations into four muffin cups each.

*Note: The muffins will puff up as they bake, so be sure to fill the tins only three-quarters full to prevent overflow.

5. Bake Muffins: Bake for 15-20 minutes until set.

6. Serve or Store: Let cool slightly, then serve.

*Note: Allow your muffins to cool for about 10 minutes before removing them. If needed, run a plastic knife or spatula around the inside walls of the muffin holes to help loosen them.
