Main Ingredients

  • 8 egg large eggs
  • 0.5 cup whole milk
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp neutral oil for greasing pan
  • 0.5 cup red bell pepper diced (Southwest)
  • 0.25 cup scallions thinly sliced (Southwest)
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (Southwest)
  • 0.5 tsp chili powder (Southwest)
  • 1 cup baby spinach chopped (Herb & Feta)
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled (Herb & Feta)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped (Herb & Feta)
  • 0.5 cup cooked bacon crumbled (Maple Bacon)
  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (Maple Bacon)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (Maple Bacon)
  • 0.25 tsp smoked paprika (Maple Bacon)

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with oil.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  • Divide the egg mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 0.75 full.
  • Southwest cups: To 4 muffin cups, add bell pepper, scallions, cheddar, and chili powder. Gently stir each cup to distribute.
  • Herb & Feta cups: To 4 muffin cups, add spinach, feta, and dill. Gently stir each cup to distribute.
  • Maple Bacon cups: To the remaining 4 cups, add bacon, mozzarella, maple syrup, and smoked paprika. Gently stir each cup to distribute.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the centers are just set and the tops look puffed. Remove from oven and rest 3 minutes.
  • Loosen edges with a small spatula, then plate three flavors side-by-side to serve as a flight. Add hot sauce, salsa, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Make-ahead: Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months; reheat at 300°F until warm. Swap-ins: Use ham, sautéed mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes. Dairy-free: Substitute milk with unsweetened almond milk and skip the cheese. For a stovetop option, cook covered over low heat in a greased skillet until set.
