Easy 4-Ingredient Egg Muffins

Egg muffins are like mini frittatas baked in a muffin tin—portable, protein-packed, and full of flavor. They’re ideal for breakfast, brunch, or even a light snack. The best part? You can whip them up in minutes using just a few ingredients, and they store wonderfully for busy mornings.

For this 4-ingredient version, you’ll need eggs, cheese, veggies, and a touch of seasoning. Beyond that, you can get creative—add ham, spinach, mushrooms, or even a sprinkle of chili flakes for heat.
