Eggs are often hailed as one of the best sources of protein available. Each large egg contains about 6 grams of high-quality protein, making them an excellent option for fueling your body. Protein plays a vital role in numerous bodily functions, from repairing tissues to supporting immune response and hormone production. Additionally, eggs are a complete protein source, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce on their own. Beyond protein, eggs are rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12, selenium, and choline, making them a powerhouse ingredient in any dish.

Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup cooked ham, diced

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Cooking oil or non-stick spray, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with cooking oil or non-stick spray to prevent the muffins from sticking.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

        Season the Mixture: Add black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the egg mixture and stir until they are evenly distributed.

          Combine Ingredients: Fold in the diced ham, chopped spinach, and shredded cheese, ensuring they are evenly mixed into the egg mixture.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
