Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and frothy.
Chop the diced ham and any optional vegetables, then set your shredded cheese aside.
Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into each muffin cup, fill halfway, then layer with ham, cheese, and vegetables.
Top each cup with more egg mixture until filled about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they puff up and turn golden brown.
Sprinkle fresh herbs and extra cheese on top, let cool slightly, then carefully remove from the muffin tin.
Serve warm on a platter or directly from the tin.
