Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (100g)
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Chop the bell peppers into small, uniform pieces, finely chop the spinach, and slice the green onions thinly.
  3. In a medium bowl, crack 6 large eggs. Add 2 tablespoons of milk, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder if using. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Fold in the shredded cheese gently, then add the chopped veggies and green onions. Stir just until combined.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes. Check at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then loosen edges with a knife and transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate air for fluffy muffins. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. If muffins brown too fast on top but are not set inside, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. For watery veggies like tomatoes or mushrooms, sauté briefly before adding. Muffins keep well refrigerated for up to 4 days and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently to avoid drying out.
