Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables

  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red or yellow)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen spinach

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or feta)

Other

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the muffins.
  2. Prepare Muffin Tin: Spray a muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the muffins from sticking.
  3. Mix Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs until frothy. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  4. Add Vegetables and Cheese: Fold in the diced bell peppers, fresh or frozen spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese (or feta) until the mixture is evenly combined.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for the muffins to puff up while baking.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed and golden on top.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with feta or any cheese of your preference.
  • Use fresh spinach for better texture or frozen spinach, just be sure to thaw and drain excess water.
  • Customize by adding other vegetables like mushrooms or onions based on preference.
  • Make ahead and refrigerate or freeze for quick breakfasts later in the week.
  • Ensure eggs are fully cooked to safe internal temperature before serving.
