Baked Egg and Scallion Muffins

Ingredients

• Eggs: 6 large eggs

• Dairy: 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream (optional, for extra fluffiness)

• Green Onions (Scallions): 1/2 cup, finely chopped

• Cheese: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese (optional)

• Seasoning:

  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

  • A pinch of garlic powder or paprika (optional)

• Greasing: Butter or cooking spray for the muffin tin

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Muffin Tin:

   • Generously grease a standard 6-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent the eggs from sticking.

3. Add Fillings:

   • Divide the finely chopped green onions evenly among the 6 muffin cups. If using shredded cheese, add it right into the cups along with the onions.

4. Mix the Eggs:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings until smooth and well-combined.

5. Pour into Muffin Cups:

   • Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup over the green onions, filling them up about 3/4 full.

6. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the egg cups are completely set and slightly golden brown on top.

7. Cool and Serve:

   • Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Run a knife gently around the edges of each cup to pop them out. Serve warm and enjoy!
