Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup 60 ml whole milk
  • ½ cup 75 g diced red bell pepper
  • ½ cup 75 g diced green bell pepper
  • ¼ cup 40 g finely chopped red onion
  • ½ cup 60 g fresh spinach, chopped
  • ¾ cup 85 g shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp 15 ml olive oil

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin

  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook just until wilted, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Stir in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly distributed.
  6. Fold the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
  7. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently loosening them with a knife and transferring to a rack.
