Ham, egg and avocado cheese cupcakes FAQ:

What is the baking time for ham, egg and avocado cheese cupcakes?

Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes. They are done when the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

How can I tell if the eggs are fully cooked?

The eggs are fully cooked when they are no longer liquid in the center and have a firm texture. You can insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean if they are set.

Can I make substitutions for the ingredients?

Yes, you can substitute the ham with turkey or bacon, and swap the mozzarella cheese with cheddar or feta. If you want a vegetarian option, you can omit the ham entirely or replace it with sautéed vegetables.

How should I store leftover cupcakes?

Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.

What size muffin tin should I use for this recipe?

A standard muffin tin works well for this recipe. You can also use silicone muffin cups placed on a baking sheet, which makes for easy removal after baking.

Tips:

- Use silicone cupcake liners or grease your muffin tin well to prevent sticking.

- Feel free to add other ingredients such as chopped spinach, bell peppers, or onions for extra flavor and nutrients.

- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

- Enjoy them warm or at room temperature, and they can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
