04 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.

07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
08 - Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm, or cool completely for storage.
