Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups diced bell peppers (any color)
- 0.25 cups diced cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
- 0.25 cups chopped spinach
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a 6-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Divide the shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, cooked bacon or sausage, and chopped spinach evenly among the 6 muffin cups.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and slightly golden on top.
Allow the egg muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin using a butter knife or small spatula.
Enjoy warm, or let them cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a microwave for about 20-30 seconds when ready to eat.
