🥚 Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
- ½ cup diced bell pepper (any color you like)
- ¼ cup crumbled feta or shredded cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the muffin tin)
🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil or use silicone muffin liners to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Base
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Add the Veggies
Stir in the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, and cheese (if using). Mix everything together until well combined.
4. Fill the Muffin Tin
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full. The muffins will puff up slightly while baking.
5. Bake
Place the tin in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should come out clean.
6. Cool and Store
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Just reheat in the microwave for 30–45 seconds when ready to eat!
