These easy mini breakfast egg muffins with ham and cheese are quick, portable, and packed with flavor, perfect for rushed mornings or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) cooked ham, diced
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
  • Cooking spray or butter (for greasing muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease the mini muffin tin generously with cooking spray or butter.
  3. In a medium bowl, crack 6 large eggs and add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of milk. Whisk together until smooth and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
  4. Season the egg mixture with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Whisk again to combine.
  5. Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and optional chopped green onions gently until evenly combined.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly into the greased muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full (approximately 2 tablespoons or 30 ml per muffin).
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes. Check at 14 minutes by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, muffins are done.
  8. Remove from oven and let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a butter knife around edges to loosen and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Notes

Do not overmix after adding ham and cheese to keep muffins light and fluffy. Use room temperature eggs for better rise. Grease muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking. Check oven temperature as it may vary; reduce heat if muffins brown too quickly. Muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
