In a bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add chopped vegetables, cheese, salt, and pepper, mixing everything evenly.

Place the tray in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes or until the muffins are fully set and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before taking them out of the tray.
