03 - Stir in cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions if using.

05 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are puffed and set in the center.
06 - Let cool for a few minutes before running a knife around the edges and removing from the tin.
07 - Serve warm, or cool completely for meal prep and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They taste like you spent way more time than you actually did, which is the best kind of kitchen magic.
  • Sunday prep becomes Friday breakfast without any reheating sadness or dry texture regrets.
  • You can literally eat breakfast with one hand while doing basically anything else.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step before removing them from the tin, or they'll tear apart and become sad little scrambled egg situations instead of neat muffins.
  • If your ranch mix contains gluten, swap it for a certified gluten-free version or use fresh herbs and spices instead, which actually tastes even better.
03 -
  • Make sure your bacon is cooked completely crisp and cooled before mixing in, or the heat will start cooking the eggs prematurely and throw off your texture.
  • Fill any empty muffin cups halfway with water if you're not using all twelve spots, so the tin heats evenly and your muffins bake uniformly.
