Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 pieces green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or lightly brush with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten.
Add milk, salt, black pepper, and baking powder to the eggs and whisk to combine.
In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Stir the cooked vegetables, feta cheese, and green onions into the egg mixture.
Distribute the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set in the middle and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for quick meals or snacks throughout the week.
