Directions

Heat your oven to 395°F (200°C) and give a muffin tin a good spray with non-stick cooking spray. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. Evenly divide the chopped tomatoes and green peppers into each muffin cup, then sprinkle some Colby-Jack cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture into the cups, filling them up to the rim, and gently stir each one with a fork to mix the ingredients around. Pop the pan in the oven and bake until the tops turn golden and start to brown, which should take about 20 minutes. Once they’re done, let the muffins sit in the pan for a few minutes to cool slightly before digging in.
