Equipment

Ingredients
  

Core Ingredients:

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables spinach, bell peppers, onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray

Protein Add-Ins (Choose one or mix and match):

  • Diced ham
  • Crumbled bacon
  • Cooked sausage
  • Shredded chicken
  • Tofu for vegetarian option

Substitution Options:

  • Dairy-free: Use almond milk and nutritional yeast
  • Low-carb: Skip starchy vegetables
  • Vegetarian: Replace meat with plant-based proteins
  • Gluten-sensitive: Ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 375°F and thoroughly grease your muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.
  • Prepare Vegetables: Finely chop the vegetables. Sauté them briefly to reduce moisture and prevent soggy muffins.
  • Mix the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded cheese and your choice of protein add-ins.
  • Fill the Muffin Cups: Evenly distribute the vegetable mixture into each muffin cup. Pour the egg mixture on top, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  • Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the centers are set. A slight wiggle means a creamy texture inside.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store muffins in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
  • Customize with your favorite veggies and proteins.
  • Serve with avocado slices or hot sauce for added flavor.
Variations:
  • Mediterranean Style: Add feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach.
  • Southwestern Kick: Incorporate jalapeños, black beans, and cheddar cheese.
  • Breakfast Sandwich Edition: Top with a slice of cheese and Canadian bacon.
  • Garden Veggie: Use zucchini, mushrooms, and fresh herbs.
  • Protein Powerhouse: Mix in protein powder and lean meat.
