Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Dairy
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced (breast preferred)
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 6 large eggs
Flavor & Seasonings
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Non-stick spray or muffin liners (for greasing muffin tin)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with muffin liners. Chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and slice the green onions. Measure out the buffalo sauce and shredded cheese.
- Mix the Egg Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, buffalo sauce, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth. This mixture forms the base for your muffins.
- Add Chicken and Cheese: Gently fold the chopped chicken, shredded cheese, and green onions into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes until the muffins have set and are lightly golden on top. Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing. Serve warm or allow to cool completely for storing.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for fluffier muffins with better texture.
- Do not overfill muffin cups to prevent spillage and uneven cooking.
- Allow muffins to rest before removing to maintain their shape.
- Chop the chicken evenly for balanced bites in every muffin.
- Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to customize spice level.
