1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F (180u00b0C). Line or spray 9 wells in a nonstick muffin pan, set aside. If you don't have a nonstick muffin pan, I recommend using parchment liners.
2
In an 8-cup measuring cup or medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Add 1/2 cup of the jack cheese, pepper cheese, green chilies and spices; mix well. Pour evenly into muffin cups. They should be very full.
3
Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Top each muffin with 1 teaspoon salsa, and sprinkle remaining jack cheese on the muffins. Return to oven and bake 15 more minutes. Muffins should not jiggle at all when pan is shaken. Test with toothpick to be sure centers are not still runny.
4
Remove from oven, and let rest for about 5 minutes in the muffin pan. Serve with a side of additional salsa and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, if desired (not included in nutrition information).
5
Leftovers may stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, or may be frozen.

Notes:

1. This muffin is not that spicy, but if you want a totally mild version, use all Monterey Jack Cheese. For a spicer version, use less of the jack and more of the pepper cheese, or add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeno pepper to the batter.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
