Ingredients:

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced ham
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease each slot of a standard 12-slot muffin tin with melted butter or oil.
  2. Divide the shredded cheddar cheese and diced ham evenly among the 12 muffin slots to prevent ingredients from sinking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, crack 8 eggs and add the milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Whisk the egg mixture vigorously for about 60 seconds until the batter is uniform and slightly frothy.
  5. Stir in the chopped fresh chives or green onions.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and meat in each muffin slot, filling them approximately 3/4 of the way to the top.
  7. Place the tin on the center rack of the oven and bake for 20–22 minutes.
  8. Remove the muffins from the oven once the centers are set and the edges are golden brown.
