Ingredients
2 medium zucchinis, grated and squeezed dry
6 large eggs
½ cup milk or half-and-half (use whole milk for lighter, half-and-half for creamier)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
½ small onion, finely chopped (or 2 green onions, sliced)
1 teaspoon olive oil (for sautéing onion)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional add-ins: crumbled bacon, diced ham, or fresh herbs like parsley or basil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with parchment muffin liners.
Grate zucchini, then squeeze well in a clean towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion for 2–3 minutes until softened, then let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Stir in zucchini, sautéed onion, and shredded cheese (plus any optional add-ins).
Divide mixture evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until tops are set and lightly golden.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm, or let cool completely for storage.
Notes
Make Ahead: These muffins keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezer-Friendly: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or microwave.
Dairy-Free Option: Use plant-based milk and cheese alternatives.
Add More Veggies: Spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms work well—just sauté before adding to reduce moisture.
