Fluffy Egg Cups Ingredients :
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or cream)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup cheese (cheddar, feta, etc.), shredded or crumbled
- 1 cup vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, etc.), diced
- Optional: cooked bacon or sausage, chopped herbs
How to make Fluffy Egg Cups :
Preheat Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin.
Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Add Fillings: Stir in cheese, vegetables, and any optional ingredients.
Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the mixture into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes until puffed and set.
Fillings:
Vegetables: Sautéing vegetables before adding them can enhance their flavor and prevent excess moisture from making the eggs soggy.
Cheese: Choose cheeses that melt well, like cheddar, mozzarella, or feta, but don’t overdo it—too much cheese can weigh the eggs down.
Cool and Serve: Let cool slightly, then enjoy warm or store in the fridge for later.
Recipe Notes :
Egg Quality: Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and fluffiness. Organic or free-range eggs are often preferred.
Whisking Technique: Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air. The more air you add, the fluffier the final product will be.
Milk or Cream: Adding milk or cream helps create a light texture. For a richer taste, consider using heavy cream, but remember to adjust other ingredients accordingly.
Storage: Fluffy egg dishes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for best results.
Customizations: Experiment with different flavor profiles—try adding salsa, avocado, or hot sauce for a twist!
