Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup cooked bacon or sausage
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon 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 to prevent sticking.
Dice the bell pepper into small pieces and roughly chop the baby spinach.
If using bacon or sausage, ensure it is pre-cooked and crumbled or diced into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, bell pepper, spinach, cooked bacon or sausage, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffin eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Serve warm or let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
