What You’ll Need

6 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
1/4 cup yellow onion, finely diced
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Non-stick cooking spray

Step-by-Step Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 6 cups of a standard muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Fold in the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, and diced onions.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 full.
Top each muffin with a portion of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs are firm to the touch and the tops have risen.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before using a knife to loosen the edges and removing them.

Best Ways to Enjoy

Serve these warm for the best, silkier texture. They pair beautifully with a few slices of fresh avocado. You could also add a side of seasonal berries.

This makes for a vibrant breakfast spread for your family. It is also great for a relaxed weekend brunch. Simply reheat and enjoy your morning coffee.

Make-Ahead Advice

Let the muffins cool completely before storing them. They stay fresh in the fridge for four days. You can also freeze them for up to two months.

Reheat them in the microwave for thirty seconds. This makes weekday mornings completely stress-free and nourishing. Always store them in an airtight container.

Tips for Best Results

Grease your muffin tin very well to prevent sticking.
Chop your spinach finely for a more consistent bite.
Avoid overfilling the cups to prevent messy spills.
Use room temperature eggs for a much fluffier rise.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Try using a silicone muffin pan for the easiest removal.

Easy Swaps

Swap cheddar for feta for a tangy, Mediterranean twist.
Add cooked crumbled sausage for even more protein.
Use kale instead of spinach for a bit more crunch.
Omit the cheese for a dairy-free version.
