Description

Start your day with these protein-packed egg muffin cups filled with veggies and cheese, perfect for meal prep and customization.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, etc.)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: cooked bacon or sausage, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Stir in the diced vegetables, shredded cheese, and any optional ingredients, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  5. Place the muffin tin in a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot water.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
  7. Let them cool slightly before removing from the tin.
  8. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer for a quick breakfast option later.

Notes

Ensure eggs and dairy are at room temperature for fluffier muffins. Experiment with different vegetables and cheeses.
