Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream (or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray.
  2. In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper with a pinch of salt for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Stir the cooled vegetable mixture and the shredded cheese into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the centers are set (a toothpick inserted should come out clean).
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully running a knife around the edges to remove them. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, always sauté veggies to remove excess moisture and prevent sogginess. These muffins freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 60-90 seconds. Feel free to customize with add-ins like diced ham, mushrooms, or cooked sausage.
