01
Step 1
Start by heating a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Toss in the chicken and cook it until it’s nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, give it a good stir, then take the pan off the heat and let it sit while you get everything else ready.

Step 2
Next, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cheddar, milk, chopped red bell pepper, shallot, mushrooms, chives, jalapeno, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Once the chicken has cooled down a bit, fold it into the egg mixture.

Step 3
Spoon the mixture into a nonstick mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Pop the tin in the oven and bake for around 18 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and cooked through. Let them cool slightly before digging in!
