Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Seasoning

  • 6 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped, about 2 tbsp

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped and drained
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

Cheese

  • 1/2 cup cheddar or feta cheese, crumbled or shredded

Other

  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Chop all your vegetables into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and delightful texture in every bite.
  2. Preheat oven and grease the muffin tin: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Whisk the eggs and seasoning: In a large bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly with salt, pepper, and your chosen herbs until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine vegetables and cheese: Fold in the diced vegetables and cheese gently, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
  5. Fill the muffin cups: Pour the mixture into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for rising without spilling over.
  6. Bake until set: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are firm to the touch and lightly golden brown on top.
  7. Cool and remove: Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. This helps them hold their shape perfectly.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill: Leave space at the top to prevent muffin overflow during baking.
  • Use room temperature eggs: Helps create a fluffier texture.
  • Drain watery veggies: Squeeze excess moisture from ingredients like spinach to avoid soggy muffins.
  • Experiment with cheese: Try different varieties like goat cheese or mozzarella for unique flavors.
  • Store in silicone muffin tins: Easier removal and less grease usage.
