Ingredients
- 10 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups diced cooked ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a muffin tin liberally with non-stick cooking spray.
- In medium-sized bowl, add eggs and heavy whipping cream, and whisk gently to scramble eggs.
- Add in remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- Divide mixture evenly among cups of the muffin tin. I find that a #20 (3 tablespoon) scoop works well for this. Each muffin cup should be about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until eggs are fully set.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
To freeze:
- Place cooled egg muffins in a single layer in a gallon-sized freezer bag, and lay flat in your freezer until frozen solid (overnight).
To reheat:
- Remove egg muffin(s) from freezer and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator, either in a bag or another airtight container. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until heated through.
- To reheat directly from frozen, microwave for 1 minute at 50% power, then 30-60 seconds at full power.
