Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.5 cups diced bell peppers
- 0.5 cups chopped spinach
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Distribute the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly into the muffin cups.
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full.
Gently stir the ingredients in each cup with a fork to mix them together while keeping the filling evenly distributed.
Carefully transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully loosening the edges with a butter knife and removing them from the tin.
To store, allow the muffins to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat, microwave individual muffins on high for 30-60 seconds, or until warmed through.
