Ingredients

Scale

Egg Base

  • 6 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional; any cheese of choice)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Veggies: Finely dice the bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the spinach to ensure even cooking and easy fitting into each muffin cup.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the 6 eggs together with salt and black pepper until frothy and well combined to create light and fluffy muffins.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the diced vegetables and cheese (if using) into the whisked eggs. Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed without clumps or dry spots.
  4. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease each muffin cup generously with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking and allow easy removal after baking.
  5. Fill and Bake: Pour the egg and vegetable mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20 minutes, or until muffins are puffed up and set in the center.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature as desired.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the muffin tins to allow muffins to rise without spilling over.
  • Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
  • Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air for fluffier muffins.
  • Let muffins cool before removing to prevent breaking apart.
  • Adjust salt and seasonings to taste before baking.
