Ingredients

• 6 pieces Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.75 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
• 0.5 cups Bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 cups Chopped spinach or kale
• 0 as needed Cooking spray or olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 6-cup nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined.

Step 4

Season the whisked eggs with salt and black pepper. Stir to incorporate.

Step 5

If desired, divide the bell peppers, crumbled bacon or sausage, chopped spinach or kale, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly into the muffin cups as a base layer.

Step 6

Pour the whisked eggs evenly into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Gently stir each cup with a small spoon to distribute the add-ins evenly through the egg mixture.

Step 8

Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes before carefully removing the egg cups with a butter knife or small spatula.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store the egg cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave for 20–30 seconds before serving.
