Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper muffin liners.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and finely chop all vegetables.

Using small pieces helps them cook evenly and blend well into the egg mixture.

Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 4: Add the Fillings

Stir in:

• Green chili (optional)
• Coriander
• Mozzarella cheese

Season with salt and black pepper.

Mix until evenly combined.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Pan

Pour the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about ¾ full.

Avoid overfilling, as the eggs will puff up while baking.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until:

• The tops are lightly golden
• The eggs are fully set
• A toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
