Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Zucchini, diced
- 0.5 cups Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cups Spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and whisk again until smooth.
Fold in the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, chopped spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture.
Carefully pour the egg and vegetable mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are puffed up and set in the middle.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a small spatula or knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
