Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cooked bacon or sausage (crumbled)
- 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup bell pepper (diced)
- 1 cup baby spinach (chopped)
- 0.25 cup green onions (sliced)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray or line with silicone muffin cups.
In a large mixing bowl, crack all 8 eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Fold in the cooked bacon or sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, bell pepper, spinach, and green onions. Mix until evenly distributed.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve immediately, or let cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To reheat, microwave individual muffins for 30-45 seconds or until warmed through.
