Healthy breakfast egg muffins are a quick and nutritious way to start your day. Packed with protein and veggies, they are perfect for meal prep.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Olive oil or nonstick spray (for greasing muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Divide the bell peppers, spinach, and red onion evenly among the muffin cups.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  6. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top of the filled muffin cups.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until centers are set and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let cool slightly, then remove from the tin and serve warm or store for later.

Notes

  • To prevent sogginess, avoid overcooking and drain excess liquid from veggies.
  • Grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.
  • Egg muffins may deflate if cooled too quickly or if the oven temperature is too high.
