For a spicier kick, use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture. These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Customize your muffins by adding other favorite taco toppings such as black beans, corn, or diced tomatoes.

StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
03
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, shredded Cheddar cheese, milk, finely chopped red bell pepper, shallot, mushrooms, chives, jalapeno pepper, and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the cooled chicken mixture.
04
StepPour the egg mixture into nonstick mini muffin tins, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the eggs are set and the muffins are golden brown, approximately 18 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
