Ingredients

  • Non-stick cooking spray (It's important to use non-stick cooking spray, as the regular oil spray won't prevent eggs from sticking.)
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup cooked bacon crumbled (I use store-bought pre-cooked bacon, but you can cook your own if inclined)
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach roughly chopped
  • 1 cup red bell pepper diced
  • ½ cup onions diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use pre-shredded cheddar cheese, you can use your favorite cheese such as mozzarella)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

How to cook egg muffins:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick oil spray and set aside.
  • Wash, dry and dice red bell pepper and onions. Dry spinach and chop it roughly.
  • Add cooked bacon, red bell pepper, onions and spinach in each muffin tin, about 2/3 full. (Divide evenly among greased muffin cups.)
  • In a large measuring cup, whisk eggs and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. (I recommend using a measuring cup for easy pouring.)
  • Add in the egg mixture and fill each muffin tin 3/4 full. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • As soon as you take the muffins out from the oven, run a small spatula around the edges of each muffin to loosen.
  • Remove them from the muffin tin. Serve warm immediately or freeze for meal prep.

How to freeze egg muffins:

  • Let baked egg muffins cool down completely.
  • Wrap them in plastic wrap individually and place them in a freezer-safe zip-lock bag. (They’ll last for up to 3 months when stored properly in the freezer.)

Notes

You can also use paper liners instead of cooking spray to prevent the egg muffins from sticking to the muffin tin.
