Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli florets
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper, broccoli, and red onion. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in spinach until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until uniform and slightly frothy.
  4. Add the cooled vegetables and shredded cheese to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until tops are golden, edges pull away, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Run a knife around edges to loosen.

Notes

For dairy-free, use non-dairy milk and cheese. Add cooked meat like bacon or sausage for extra protein. Ensure veggies are sautéed and cooled to prevent sogginess. Store in fridge for 4 days or freeze for 2-3 months.
