Love beef and cheddar cheese? Oh these egg muffins are for you! They're the perfect portable breakfast you can even make ahead of time!
Ingredients
½ lb ground beef (can sub ground turkey )
½ white or yellow onion (diced)
1 tsp garlic (minced)
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1½ tbsp olive oil (This is to grease the muffin pan and prevent sticking.)
12 eggs
½ cup salsa (I use mild but you can certainly use medium or hot if you prefer.)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Method
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Add your ground beef (or turkey) to a large skillet on the stovetop along with diced onion. Use a spatula to crumble the meat. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned.
3
Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for one more minute so garlic is golden in color.
4
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with the olive oil (or use a spray). Don’t skimp on this or your eggs will stick. Make sure you grease both the sides and bottom of each muffin cup.
5
Divide the beef/onion mixture and add to the bottom of each muffin cup.
6
In a large bowl, whisk eggs with salsa, salt, and pepper until well combined.
7
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup.
8
Sprinkle shredded cheese in each cup.
9
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until egg is firm. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. The egg muffins will puff up a lot while baking. They’ll settle down over the next 5 minutes as they cool. Once cooled, use a fork or small spatula to gently pull the egg muffins from the pan and serve.
