Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, or your choice)

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cook the meat: If using bacon or sausage, cook them in a skillet until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked bacon or sausage, and diced vegetables.
- Assemble the breakfast cups: Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
