To make Easy Veggie Egg Muffins, you need fresh and simple ingredients. Here’s what you will need: - 6 large eggs - 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) - 1 cup chopped spinach - 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced (any color) - 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder - Salt and pepper to taste - 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or your choice) - Cooking spray or muffin liners When picking vegetables, choose fresh and bright ones. Look for spinach that is vibrant and firm. Bell peppers should be smooth and shiny. Avoid any that are wrinkled or soft. For cherry tomatoes, pick ones that are plump and red. Fresh veggies make your muffins taste better. If you want to change up the cheese, there are many options. Cheddar adds a nice sharp taste. Feta gives a tangy flavor. You might also try mozzarella for a milder option. Each cheese will give a different twist to your muffins. For the full recipe, check out the complete guide. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures an even bake. Next, prepare your muffin tin. You can use cooking spray to coat each cup. Alternatively, you can place muffin liners in each cup. This step helps with easy removal later. Now, let’s whisk the eggs. In a large mixing bowl, crack the six large eggs. Add half a cup of milk. This could be dairy or any non-dairy milk you prefer. Whisk the eggs and milk together until they are well combined. You want a smooth mixture without lumps. Next, it’s time to add the veggies. Add one cup of chopped spinach, half a cup of diced bell pepper, and a quarter cup of finely chopped red onion. Toss in half a cup of halved cherry tomatoes too. Mix in half a teaspoon of garlic powder and half a teaspoon of onion powder. Don’t forget to add salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until it’s evenly mixed. Now, gently fold in half a cup of shredded cheese. You can use cheddar, feta, or any cheese you like. Make sure the cheese is spread throughout the mixture. Pour the egg and veggie mixture into the prepared muffin tin. Fill each cup about two-thirds full. This gives them room to rise. Finally, bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. You’ll know they are done when the muffins are set in the center and slightly golden on top. Once baked, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before taking them out of the tin. Enjoy these tasty veggie egg muffins warm, or store them for a quick breakfast later. For the full recipe, check the section above. To make your veggie egg muffins perfect, follow these tips. First, ensure even cooking by filling each muffin cup about two-thirds full. This allows the muffins to rise without spilling over. Use a whisk to mix the eggs and milk well. Combine them until they look smooth and creamy. Next, adjust the seasoning to fit your taste. If you like it spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you prefer a milder flavor, skip the heat and add more herbs. Fresh herbs, like basil or parsley, can brighten the taste. Cooling muffins properly is key. After baking, let them cool for a few minutes in the tin. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to remove. Once they feel cool to the touch, transfer them to a wire rack. This prevents moisture from building up, which can make them soggy. For storage, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. They stay fresh for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. When you're ready to eat, reheat them in the microwave for a quick meal.
