Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 muffins
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup cooked cookie dough (chilled)
- 1/4 cup diced vegetables (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 6-cup muffin tin by greasing it thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack all 6 eggs and whisk them together until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If using vegetables, finely dice them into small, uniform pieces. Recommended vegetables include bell peppers, spinach, or onions for added flavor and nutrition.
- Remove the pre-chilled cookie dough from the refrigerator and divide it into 6 small, equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a compact ball.
- Sprinkle the optional shredded cheese into the bottom of each muffin cup, creating a light base layer.
- Place one cookie dough ball in the center of each muffin cup, ensuring it's positioned in the middle.
- Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture over the cookie dough, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Distribute any optional diced vegetables around the cookie dough.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 2-3 minutes to help them set.
- Gently run a knife around the edges of each muffin and carefully remove them from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy the surprise cookie dough center.
Tips
- Chill the cookie dough beforehand to make it easier to handle and prevent it from melting too quickly during baking.
- Use non-stick cooking spray or butter generously to ensure easy muffin removal.
- Don't overfill the muffin cups - keep the egg mixture about 3/4 full to prevent overflow.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese types or add herbs like chives or parsley.
- Let the muffins cool slightly in the tin to help them set and maintain their shape.
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat cookie dough or add more vegetables.
- These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and quickly reheated in the microwave.
- Use room temperature eggs for more consistent mixing and better texture.
- If you prefer a firmer egg texture, bake for the full 15 minutes; for softer eggs, aim for 12 minutes.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and most impressive cookie dough center reveal!
