Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 medium, diced (use any color) Bell pepper
- 0.5 medium, diced Zucchini
- 1 cup, roughly chopped Spinach
- 0.5 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with a teaspoon of olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully blended. Add the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and whisk again to combine.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and zucchini, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another minute until wilted. Remove from heat and let the vegetables cool slightly.
Divide the sautéed vegetables evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about halfway full.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way to leave room for rising. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each.
Bake the egg muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden.
Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then carefully remove them using a small knife or spatula. Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
