Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of oregano
  • ½ teaspoon of minced dried onions
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley or cilantro

Toppings

  • 1 chorizo link, finely chopped
  • ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s ready for baking the egg muffins evenly.
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of milk, 1 teaspoon of oregano, ½ teaspoon of minced dried onions, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
  3. Assemble Muffin Pan: Lightly grease a cupcake pan to prevent sticking. Pour an even layer of the egg mixture into each muffin cavity, filling approximately two-thirds full to allow room for toppings and rising.
  4. Add Chorizo and Cheese: Evenly distribute the finely chopped chorizo link over the egg mixture in each cavity. Then, sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each muffin.
  5. Bake the Muffins: Place the cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Check that the eggs are fully set in the center by inserting a toothpick or knife; it should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, protein-rich Chorizo Egg Muffins.

Notes

  • Make sure to grease the muffin pan well to prevent sticking.
  • You can substitute milk with unsweetened almond milk or any milk alternative if desired.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeño to the egg mixture.
  • These muffins can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
  • Optional: Garnish with extra fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
