Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Egg Muffins
1. Preheat Your Oven
To kick off the baking process, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your egg muffins bake evenly and come out perfectly cooked.

2. Prep Your Muffin Tin
Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it with cooking spray or olive oil. This step is crucial to prevent your muffins from sticking to the tin, allowing for easy removal once baked.

3. Beat the Eggs
In a large bowl, crack and whisk the eggs until they are thoroughly beaten. This forms the protein-rich foundation for your delectable muffins.
4. Add in the Goodness
Now, it’s time to add in the flavorful ingredients. Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, assorted bell peppers, red onion, and chopped spinach. This vibrant mix not only adds color but also packs a punch of nutrition.
5. Season to Perfection
Don’t forget to season your egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference to elevate the flavor profile of your muffins.
6. Fill Those Cups
Evenly distribute the egg mixture into the greased muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full. This allows ample space for the muffins to rise beautifully as they bake.
7. Bake Until Golden
Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them until the tops are set and turn a delightful golden hue, indicating that they are perfectly cooked.
8. Check and Cool
To ensure your muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they’re ready to be enjoyed. Allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
