Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk any kind: dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers any color
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or kale
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup diced chicken sausage or cooked turkey bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, crack all 8 eggs. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Fold in the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach or kale, onions, and chicken sausage or turkey bacon. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each muffin.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and slightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Allow the egg muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin using a butter knife or small spatula.
  • Enjoy warm right away or let them cool completely before storing for later.

Notes

Make sure to grease your muffin tin well to avoid sticking. Don’t overfill the muffin cups; leave some space for the eggs to rise. Use a toothpick or fork to test for doneness. Customize veggies and meats as desired. For extra fluffiness, beat egg whites separately before folding in. Let muffins cool completely before freezing. Reheat in microwave or oven before serving.
