I made these egg muffins a couple of days back on a weekend when I was looking to make something that was a little different from our usual breakfast fare. I also wanted something that would be simple to prepare, quick and filling.
I came across this recipe on Lisa’s blog and decided to try making eggs her way. I made a few changes to the original recipe.
Ingredients:5 large eggs
½ cup milk (I used 2%)
½ cup scallions, chopped (both green and white parts)
½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
3-4 green chillies, chopped finely
1 cup shredded cheese (I used sharp cheddar)
A handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
Butter to grease the muffin tray
3 tsp cornmeal to coat the insides of the muffin tray
This recipe yields 8 medium sized egg muffins.
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a medium sized muffin tray with a little bit of butter.
Spoon a little cornmeal into each greased cup, just enough to cover the bottom.
In a large bowl beat the eggs well, add the milk and stir in the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup and fill each one almost to the top.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes (check after 20 minutes) or until the muffins begin to puff up and become slightly firm to the touch.
Serve hot and wash it down with this smoothie.

What a lovely variation to the plain ole omelet. Looks really good.
Glad these worked out for you. I like your modifications. The possibilities for these egg muffins are endless.

These look so good...almost like little quiche.

You have such a beautiful blog- the pictures are absolutely captivating. Thanks for visiting my blog- I am glad I found you!
Helene- Indeed it is!
Nupur- I like that...never thought of that... a portable BF.:-)
and thank you!
Kalai- thanks. I was getting tired of making the usual omelettes, french toasts etc. This is a nice change.:)
Chris- thanks for stopping by! :-)
Aparna- thank you.
Lisa- thank YOU!:-)
Valli- thanks:)
Nicole- thanks...I loved what you had done too! :-)
Hima- thank you:-). You could substitute the eggs with the latest craze around here- tofu:-)I'd seen a recipe for it somewhere and remember thinking it was a great idea.
Rachel- thanks:-)
Shankari- I did have good intentions but this was more like brunch.:-)
And it only needed 5-10 min of preparation, the oven did the rest.
I think I spent more time taking the pics than actually making it.
Vaishali- thanks for visiting. I am glad I found your space too through TOI.
You are being very kind now! :-)
Hey thats a wonderful colorful muffin:)
They look so light, fluffy and pretty! Will definitely give it a try, I saw some on Kalyn's blog too.
We love muffins(or quiche ). Lovely pictures!! We also add spinach and mushrooms.
Eggs as muffins .......mmmm I really love the idea. I am also tired of make the same omelettes for breakfast, would really like to try them, except that I am little hesitant to use 1 cup of cheese.....not that I wouldnt love it ;-)
Eggs are certainly allowed in my diet and I'm looking for different ways to prepare it other than omellette and scrambled eggs. One question... Can I use egg substitute for eggs. Your muffins are so colorful and tempting. Nice job done.
RV- thank you. :)
Cynthia- I did too...I think that's how I eventually ended up finding Lisa's recipe.:-)
D & C- yes, that would be nice too. I am not a mushroom lover.:(
Shella- you could use low fat cheese like I did or you could cut down on the amount used. Besides, it is 1 cup for 8 muffins...
Kribha- Sorry for the late reply...
I really have no idea how that would turn out. I remember trying the substitute once(not in this dish) and not liking it. You could use soft tofu though...I had even seen a recipe somewhere that substituted the eggs with tofu.
I tried these today and they were so good, my hubby who usually does not like egg much loved these. I put in different veggies, what were in hand but it is such an easy breakfast idea, Thanks for sharing.
Medhaa- welcome to my blog!:)
I am so glad to hear that you tried something along these lines and liked it. Thank you so much for letting me know!
