Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar)
- 1 cup diced ham (optional)
For Greasing
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking of the muffins.
- Prepare the muffin tin: Grease a standard muffin tin thoroughly with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking and help with easy removal of the muffins after baking.
- Whisk the eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack and whisk together 6 large eggs. Add salt and pepper according to taste and mix until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- Add vegetables and cheese: Stir in the diced bell peppers, onions, chopped spinach, shredded cheese, and diced ham if using. Mix evenly so all ingredients are well combined.
- Fill the muffin cups: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin cup about three-quarters full to allow room for the muffins to puff up while baking.
- Bake the muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the muffins are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Cool and release: Once baked, let the muffins cool for a few minutes. Then run a knife gently around the edges of each muffin cup to release the muffins without breaking them, and serve warm or store for later.
Notes
- To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the diced ham.
- You can substitute the cheese with your favorite variety such as mozzarella or pepper jack.
- Adding herbs like chives or parsley can enhance flavor.
- These muffins freeze well; reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
- Use a nonstick muffin pan or line with silicone muffin liners for easier cleanup.
