For 6 servings, generously coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or grease with softened Cabot Unsalted Butter. Preheat oven to 350°F.
Divide vegetables and meat, if using, evenly among the muffin tin wells. Top with shredded Cabot Alpine Cheddar, Seriously Sharp Cheddar or Mild Cheddar, dividing evenly.
Beat eggs, dill or chives, tarragon or oregano, salt and pepper in a blender on medium speed until combined but not overly foamy, about 10 to 15 seconds. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies and cheddar, dividing evenly.
Bake until the egg cups are just set up and puffed, 17 to 19 minutes.
