The ultimate Egg Muffin Cups recipe! These protein-packed muffins are perfect for meal prep, easy to make, and fully customizable to suit your taste!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1½ cups chopped spinach
  • ½ cup finely diced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup minced onion
  • 10 eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Sauté the vegetables (optional but recommended): Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Sauté the spinach, bell peppers, and onion for about 5 minutes until softened. This step helps prevent soggy muffins.
  • Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Stir in the cooked vegetables, spices, and cheese.
  • Fill the muffin tins: Grease a muffin tin well or use silicone liners. Pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them about ¾ of the way.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are fully set.
  • Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy fresh or store for later!

RECIPE TIPS

  • Use silicone muffin liners or grease the tin well to prevent sticking.
  • Customize with your favorite veggies, meats, or cheeses for variety.
