Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Optional Protein
- 1/2 cup cooked turkey sausage, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it or lining with muffin liners.
- Mix Eggs: Crack the 6 large eggs into a large bowl and whisk them thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: To the whisked eggs, add diced bell peppers, finely chopped onion, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, and chopped spinach. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Season: Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to distribute the seasoning throughout the mixture.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for expansion while baking.
- Add Turkey Sausage (Optional): If using, sprinkle crumbled cooked turkey sausage on top of each filled muffin cup.
- Bake: Bake the muffin cups in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fully set and slightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffin cups cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store for breakfast on the go.

- These egg muffin cups can be customized with your favorite vegetables or cheese varieties.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the turkey sausage.
- Allow muffins to cool before removing from the tin to prevent breaking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
