Prepare about 8-10 eggs in a bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Wrap corn tortillas in damp kitchen towels and microwave for 30-45 seconds to soften them.

Spray a muffin tray with olive oil or cooking spray.

Mold the softened corn tortillas into the muffin tray.

Add cheese to the bottom of each tortilla cup.

For the first cup, add chopped chives on top of the cheese.

For the second cup, add green onions and crispy hash browns.

For the next cups, add chopped green and red peppers, onions, and slices of jalapeno.

For the meat options, add cheese, hash browns, ripped bacon, and cooked Italian sausage to the remaining cups.

Pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling close to the rim but not overflowing.

If you run out of egg mixture, whisk more eggs with salt and pepper and pour into the cups.

Top with additional cheese if desired.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the cups for 20-25 minutes, checking if the center is set by shaking the pan.
