Easy, protein-packed egg muffins loaded with fresh veggies and cheese, perfect for quick breakfasts or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (preferably free-range or organic)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (can substitute kale or Swiss chard)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (fresh or sun-dried)
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup low-fat shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray (to grease muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease your muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.
  3. Chop the bell peppers, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and roughly chop the spinach into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 6 eggs until yolks and whites are fully combined.
  5. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the eggs and whisk again until frothy.
  6. Stir in the chopped veggies and shredded cheese, mixing gently but thoroughly.
  7. Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes by gently shaking the pan or inserting a toothpick; eggs should be set and toothpick should come out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  10. Use a butter knife or small spatula to gently loosen each muffin, then pop them out and transfer to a cooling rack or plate.

Notes

Do not overfill muffin cups to avoid overflow. Drain excess moisture from veggies to prevent soggy muffins. Rotate muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking. Muffins keep well refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to avoid rubbery texture.
