Ingredients
– 8 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1 cup diced bell peppers
– 1 cup chopped spinach
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
– ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
– Non-stick cooking spray or muffin liners
Instructions
Creating Loaded Egg Muffins is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a muffin tin, spray it with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
2. Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
3. Add Fillings: Stir in the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, shredded cheese, and, if desired, crumbled bacon or sausage. Mix until well distributed.
4. Fill Muffin Tins: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about ¾ full. The mixture will expand while baking.
5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and golden on top.
6. Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Store: If not eaten immediately, store the muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
