Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone muffin liners.

In a large bowl, crack 12 eggs and add 1/2 cup of whole milk.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder to the eggs and milk.

Whisk the mixture until all egg yolks are broken and combined with the whites.

Dice 8 oz of ham steak and add it to the egg mixture.

Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture.

Slice 3 green onions and add them to the bowl, including the white parts.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Scoop the egg mixture into the muffin cups, ensuring to get ham and green onions in each cup.

Sprinkle an extra 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top of the muffins before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the muffins start to pull away from the sides of the muffin tin.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin.

Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
