Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 cup, diced red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup, crumbled cooked chorizo
- 1 small, deseeded and diced jalapeño
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks, sliced green onions
- 2 tablespoons, chopped cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray or line with silicone muffin liners.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, cooked chorizo, jalapeño, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and cilantro.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, mixing well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a spatula or butter knife.
Serve warm, or let them cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave as needed.
