Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
- 0.5 cup diced bell peppers
- 0.25 cup diced onion
- 0.5 cup baby spinach (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Divide the diced bell peppers, onions, and chopped spinach evenly among the muffin cups in the tin.
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top of each cup.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the eggy cupcakes are firm in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove the tin from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the cups.
Serve warm or let them cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
