Description

Delicious, high-protein muffins made with eggs, cream cheese, and jalapeños, perfect for breakfast or a hearty snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced jalapeños

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until well beaten.
  3. Incorporate the softened cream cheese into the eggs to create a smooth base.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Prepare a muffin tin by spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with muffin liners.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
