Ingredients

• 6 pieces eggs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 1 cup spinach
• 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup (crumbled) cooked breakfast sausage or bacon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Divide the sautéed spinach evenly among the muffin cups. Add diced red bell peppers and crumbled cooked sausage or bacon (if using) to each cup.

Step 5

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the fillings in each muffin cup.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full. Be careful not to overfill to prevent spillage while baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and slightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing them with a fork or butter knife.

Step 9

Serve immediately or let cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before eating.
