Ingredients
  

For the Egg Mixture
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk any kind
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
Vegetables
  • 1 cup chopped spinach packed
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper any color
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella

Equipment

  • Muffin tin (12 cups)
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Distribute the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and diced onion evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Do not overfill; aim for about 1 tablespoon of vegetables per cup.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the egg mixture in each cup.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  7. Let the egg muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm or store them for later.
