Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with 1 tsp unsalted butter, coating each cup evenly.
  2. Step 2: Whisk 4 large eggs in a bowl until smooth. Stir in 2 tbsp grated sharp cheddar, 1 tbsp finely chopped chives, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Divide the egg mixture evenly among the greased muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes until set and edges are lightly golden, then cool for 5 minutes before removing.
