Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
Other
- Non-stick cooking spray or oil for greasing muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a uniform texture for the egg bites.
- Add Cheese and Vegetables: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped red bell pepper, spinach, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for the eggs to rise while baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg bites are fully set and lightly golden on top. To check doneness, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for a quick and healthy meal option.
Notes
- Feel free to swap in other veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, or tomatoes for variety.
