Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh spinach (well-drained)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Other

  • Olive oil or cooking spray (to grease muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Veggies: Finely chop all vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions, cherry tomatoes) so they cook evenly and fit perfectly into the muffin cups.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk vigorously until smooth and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. If using cheese, stir it into the egg mixture now.
  3. Combine Veggies and Eggs: Gently fold the chopped vegetables into the beaten eggs, mixing until evenly distributed for consistent flavor in each muffin.
  4. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease or spray the muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the muffins are set, slightly golden on top, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Enjoy warm or cool completely for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.

Notes

  • Drain excess moisture from high-water-content veggies like spinach to avoid soggy muffins.
  • Dice vegetables finely to ensure even cooking and easy eating.
  • Do not overfill muffin cups to let the eggs rise without spilling.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Let muffins cool completely before storing to prevent condensation and sogginess.
