Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 muffins
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Thoroughly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Crack all 6 large eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Finely chop the spinach and dice the bell peppers into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the muffins.
- Add the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, and shredded cheese to the whisked eggs. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste preference. Mix well to distribute the seasonings.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup approximately 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 2-3 minutes to help them set completely.
- Gently run a knife around the edges of each muffin and carefully remove them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to experiment with different vegetables! Zucchini, mushrooms, or even diced tomatoes can add unique flavors and textures to your muffins.
- Cheese Variations: While shredded cheese adds a delightful creaminess, you can switch it up with feta, mozzarella, or even a spicy pepper jack for an extra kick.
- Whisking Technique: Make sure to whisk the eggs until they are frothy; this helps incorporate air, resulting in lighter, fluffier muffins.
- Muffin Tin Preparation: Don’t skimp on greasing the muffin tin! Properly greasing or using silicone muffin cups ensures easy removal and prevents sticking.
- Bake to Perfection: Keep an eye on the muffins as they bake. Ovens can vary, so check for doneness a couple of minutes before the timer goes off. The muffins should be set and slightly golden on top.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them. This helps them hold their shape and makes them easier to take out.
- Storage Tips: These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for a quick breakfast option on busy mornings!
