Ingredients

• 12 pieces large eggs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups cooked bacon, crumbled
• 0.5 cups diced bell peppers
• 0.5 cups chopped spinach
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Distribute the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly into the muffin cups.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Gently stir the ingredients in each cup with a fork to mix them together while keeping the filling evenly distributed.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully loosening the edges with a butter knife and removing them from the tin.

Step 9

To store, allow the muffins to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 10

To reheat, microwave individual muffins on high for 30-60 seconds, or until warmed through.
