Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (165 °C fan) and grease a 12-hole muffin tin well (or use a silicone one).
- Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crisp, drain on paper towels and chop finely.
- Whisk the eggs with the milk, a little salt (carefully, as bacon is salty) and pepper.
- Divide most of the bacon, cheese and spring onion evenly among the holes.
- Ladle in the egg mixture to 3/4 full and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until set and no longer wobbling in the middle; cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and lift out.

Tips
- Grease the tin well, because eggs tend to stick; a silicone tin is the safest.
- You can replace the bacon with ham, spinach, mushrooms or peppers.
- They keep for 4 days in the fridge; reheat in the microwave in 30-40 seconds.
- They freeze well: wrapped individually, for 2 months.
Frequently asked questions
Why do egg muffins collapse?
That's normal, they sink slightly as they cool; don't overbake them or they turn rubbery.
Can they be made without milk?
Yes, but they'll be slightly denser; milk softens them.
