Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with 1 tsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp chopped fresh chives, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes until set and lightly golden around the edges, with a slight jiggle in the center when gently shaken.
