Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup tomatoes, chopped
Cheese
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (or creamy feta, crumbled)
Additional
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or oil to ensure easy removal later.
- Whisk the Eggs and Milk: In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs and milk or cream until the mixture is smooth and pale. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Veggies and Cheese: Chop chosen vegetables into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly. Grate or crumble the cheese if needed.
- Combine All Ingredients: Fold the chopped vegetables, cheese, and any optional pre-cooked meats into the egg mixture, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
- Pour into Muffin Tin: Divide the mixture evenly among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow space for rising.
- Bake Until Set: Bake for 18-22 minutes until puffed up, golden on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
- Chop vegetables small to prevent sogginess and ensure even cooking.
- Fill muffin cups only up to 75% to avoid overflow during baking.
- Let muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin to prevent breaking.
- Use a non-stick muffin tin or line with silicone muffin cups for easy cleanup.
