Instructions
-
PREPARE YOUR WORKSTATION
-
Clear your counter and gather all ingredients and tools.
-
Use a non-stick muffin tin or grease thoroughly with butter, oil or cooking spray (silicone molds work best).
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) – A properly heated oven ensures even cooking.
Tip: If using metal muffin tins, double-grease to prevent sticking. -
-
CHOP VEGETABLES
-
Spinach: Roll leaves into a tight bundle, then slice thinly (chiffonade) for even distribution.
-
Bell Peppers: Cut into 1/4-inch dice – Too large and they won’t cook.
-
Onions: Finely mince or grate for a milder flavor (no big chunks).
Tip: For extra flavor, sauté onions and peppers in 1 tsp oil for 2-3 mins to soften. -
-
WHISK EGGS
-
Crack eggs into a large bowl (not directly into the mix to avoid shells).
-
Add milk (or almond milk), salt, pepper and garlic powder.
-
Whisk vigorously for 30+ seconds until fully blended and slightly frothy.
Tip: For fluffier muffins, add 1/4 tsp baking powder to the eggs. -
-
COMBINE INGREDIENTS
-
Add veggies and cheese to the egg mixture.
-
Fold gently with a spatula (don’t overmix or muffins get dense).
-
Let sit 2-3 minutes so veggies soften slightly in the liquid.
Tip: For extra protein, mix in crumbled cooked bacon or diced ham. -
-
FILL MUFFIN CUPS
-
Use a ladle or measuring cup for even distribution.
-
Fill each cup 3/4 full (they rise slightly).
-
Tap tin lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Tip: Sprinkle extra cheese on top for a golden crust. -
-
BAKE
-
Place on the center oven rack (not too high or low).
-
Bake 20-25 mins until tops are set and edges pull away slightly.
-
Check at 20 mins – Overbaking makes them rubbery.
Tip: Insert a toothpick – If clean, they’re done. If wet, bake 2 more mins. -
-
COOL AND SERVE
-
Let cool 5 mins in the tin (they firm up as they rest).
-
Run a butter knife around edges to loosen gently.
-
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: If they stick, place the tin on a damp towel for 1 minute to steam-release. -
-
STORE FOR MEAL PREP
-
Fridge (4 days): Store in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
-
Freeze (3 months): Wrap individually in foil, then thaw overnight in the fridge.
-
Reheat: Microwave 30 secs or oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 mins.
Tip: Freeze in a single layer first to prevent sticking. -
