Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

- Season: Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the mixture. Stir again to incorporate the seasonings evenly throughout.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check that the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden before removing.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
