Ingredients

Scale

  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and beat slightly.

  4. Pour batter into a greased muffin tin.
  5. Top with sliced jalapeño peppers, if desired.

Notes

For an extra cheesy experience, fold in more cheese. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
