Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 c diced ham
- 1 3/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-count muffin tin thoroughly with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Stir in the diced ham and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups. The muffin cups will be quite full, but the mixture will bake properly.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tops of the muffins.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for about 2 minutes.
- Run a butter knife gently around the edges of each muffin and carefully lift them out of the pan.
- Serve immediately, or allow them to cool completely before storing.
