Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

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

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Cheese (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar, feta, or mozzarella cheese

Other

  • Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Vegetables: Chop bell peppers, onion, spinach, and cherry tomatoes into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and a great texture in every bite.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, crack and whisk the eggs until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, setting the stage for flavorful muffins.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the chopped vegetables and your choice of cheese into the eggs. Gently stir to distribute the ingredients evenly throughout the mixture.
  4. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or use a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote easy removal once baked.
  5. Fill the Muffin Cups: Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into each muffin cup, filling nearly to the top for nicely sized portions that bake evenly.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the Vegetable Egg Muffins to cool briefly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or let cool completely for storage.

Notes

  • Don’t overload the muffin cups to prevent spilling or uneven baking.
  • Pre-cook watery vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini to avoid soggy muffins.
  • Use fresh, high-quality eggs for best texture and taste.
  • Let muffins cool before storing to maintain firmness and avoid condensation.
  • Experiment with spices or fresh herbs such as garlic powder, paprika, basil, parsley, or chives for added flavor.
