Ingredients
  

8 large eggs

1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (preferably cremini or button)

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup green onions, sliced

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Cooking spray or oil for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or a light coat of oil.

    Sauté the Mushrooms: In a medium skillet over medium heat, add a teaspoon of oil. Once hot, add the finely chopped mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened and all the moisture has evaporated. Set aside to cool slightly.

      Mix the Egg Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley (if using).

        Combine Ingredients: Add the sautéed mushrooms, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.

          Pour and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

            Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed up and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm or let them cool completely to store for later. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for later use.
