Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the oven is ready for baking your egg mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 eggs and whisk them together until well combined. You want to achieve a uniform mixture with a bit of froth.
- Add salt and pepper to taste into the egg mixture. Start with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper, then adjust according to your preference.
- Next, prepare your vegetables. Rinse the 1 cup of spinach under cold water and chop it roughly. Dice the 1 cup of bell peppers into small, even pieces for even cooking.
- Incorporate the chopped spinach and diced bell peppers into the egg mixture. Stir until the vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Grease a baking dish or a muffin tin with cooking spray or a little olive oil to prevent sticking. If using a muffin tin, you can use liners for easier serving.
- Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the greased baking dish or divide it evenly among the muffin cups if using a muffin tin.
- Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture. This will add flavor and a delightful cheesy texture.
- Place the baking dish or muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. If using a muffin tin, carefully run a knife around the edges to help release the egg muffins.
- Cut the baked egg dish into squares if using a baking dish, or gently pop the egg muffins out of the tin. Let them cool completely before storing.
- Store the prepared breakfast in airtight containers in the refrigerator. These can be reheated in the microwave for a quick and easy breakfast throughout the week.
- Enjoy your Easy Breakfast Meal Prep as a nutritious start to your day!
Tips
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap out the spinach and bell peppers for your favorite vegetables! Zucchini, mushrooms, or even kale can add a unique twist to your breakfast.
- Add Extra Flavor: Enhance the taste by adding herbs like basil or oregano, or spices such as paprika or chili flakes for a bit of heat.
- Use Silicone Muffin Tins: If you're using a muffin tin, silicone molds can make it easier to pop out the egg muffins without sticking.
- Batch Cooking: Double the recipe and store some in the freezer for a quick breakfast option on those extra busy mornings.
- Reheating Tips: When reheating, cover with a damp paper towel in the microwave to keep the muffins moist and fluffy.
- Perfect Portioning: If you’re meal prepping, consider portioning the egg mixture into individual containers for grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
- Experiment with Cheese: Try different types of cheese like feta, goat cheese, or pepper jack to change up the flavor profile!
