Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray or line with silicone muffin cups.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, crack all 8 eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
