Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs

- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined.
- Stir in the salt and pepper.
- Distribute the chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onion) evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of each egg muffin.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set in the center and lightly golden.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
- For a meat version, add cooked crumbled sausage or bacon to the cups before adding the egg mixture.
- You can customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand. Zucchini or mushrooms work well.
- To reheat, microwave for 30-45 seconds.
- These freeze well; wrap individually before placing them in a freezer bag.
