Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces eggs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup (crumbled) cooked breakfast sausage or bacon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted. Remove from heat.
Divide the sautéed spinach evenly among the muffin cups. Add diced red bell peppers and crumbled cooked sausage or bacon (if using) to each cup.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the fillings in each muffin cup.
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full. Be careful not to overfill to prevent spillage while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing them with a fork or butter knife.
Serve immediately or let cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before eating.
