Green chile breakfast muffins

  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
12 large eggs2-3 oz chopped canned green chile peppers2 cups grated or shredded cheese (I use Sargento reduced-fat shredded four-cheese Mexican blend from the supermarket; you can use any blend of Monterey Jack, cheddar, mozzarella, etc.)2 Tbsp half and half1/2 tsp cumin1/2 tsp kosher salt1/2 tsp fresh black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare a standard 12-muffin tin by spraying with cooking spray, or lining with paper muffin liners. I use Trader Joe's olive oil or canola spray, whichever one I have on hand.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, and whisk to combine.

Use a 1/3-cup measuring cup to fill the muffin tin. You will have a little bit left; either bake it along with the muffins in a small ramekin, or do what I do: make scrambled eggs for the cook!

Bake at 375F for 35 minutes. The muffins will be puffed and brown on top. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and set aside to cool for 5 minutes before serving. The muffins will begin to collapse a bit as they cool. Serve 2 per person. If you're planning to freeze them, let cool completely, then pack in ziploc bags.
