Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

¼ cup milk

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 small bell pepper, diced (any color you prefer)

¼ cup diced onion

½ cup diced cooked ham or cooked bacon (optional, for added protein)

4 slices of whole grain bread

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh herbs for garnish (such as chives or parsley), optional

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it with non-stick spray or by lining it with silicone muffin liners. This will ensure easy removal of the muffins later.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 4 eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well blended. Incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell pepper, diced onion, and if using, the diced ham or bacon. Stir until evenly distributed.

      Toast the Bread: While your oven is heating up, use a cookie cutter or a small glass to cut each slice of bread into rounds. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the bread rounds and toast both sides until they turn a beautiful golden brown. This toasting process helps to keep the bread from getting soggy once you add the egg mixture.

        Assemble in Muffin Tin: Arrange the toasted bread rounds in the prepared muffin tin. Press each round gently to create a small 'cup' shape. Carefully fill each bread cup with the prepared egg mixture, making sure to leave a little space at the top, as the eggs will puff up slightly while baking.

          Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the egg mixture has set and the tops are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the mini muffins to cool for a few minutes. Carefully lift each muffin out of the tin. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped herbs for a pop of color and flavor. Serve warm as a delightful breakfast treat or a tasty snack!
