Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup Hatch green chilies (fresh, roasted, and chopped)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color)

1/4 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Cooking spray or oil for greasing muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Add Veggies and Cheese: Gently fold in the chopped Hatch green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, and bell pepper into the egg mixture. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Fill Muffin Tins: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

          Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers of the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to release the muffin cups.

              Garnish (Optional): Serve warm, topped with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy your delicious Hatch Chili Egg Muffin Breakfast Cups!
