Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 pieces eggs Fresh large eggs
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers (diced) Any color of bell pepper can be used
  • 1/2 cup spinach (chopped) Fresh spinach recommended
  • 1/4 cup milk Can use any milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup cheese (shredded) Cheddar or cheese of choice
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust to personal preference

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your muffin tin by greasing it lightly or using muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are combined. Your goal here is to create a fluffy mixture.
  3. Add the milk and mix well. This will make your egg muffins extra airy and rich in flavor.
  4. Stir in the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture. You can add any other vegetables or spices you love!
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. This will allow room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
  6. Top each cup with shredded cheese. This step is highly recommended; who doesn’t love melted cheese?
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are set and slightly golden on top. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions: Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables! Zucchini, mushrooms, or even sun-dried tomatoes can add new flavors. Timing: Make sure not to overbake, as this could lead to dry muffins. Keep an eye on them after the 20-minute mark. Mix-ins: Consider adding herbs like basil or parsley for a flavor boost. Don’t shy away from experimenting! Properly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
