Recipe - Healthy And Super Delicious Egg Breakfast Muffins

You are going to high five and hug yourself every rushed morning and mid-afternoon hanger-o’clock for stocking your freezer with these healthy breakfast Egg Muffins! You can pop these wholesome muffins into the microwave and reheat them whenever you need a fast, filling breakfast or snack.

Breakfast egg muffins are baked egg cups (or mini frittatas, if you prefer a slightly fancier name) that are loaded with any variety of fresh vegetable, meat, and/or cheesy additions you please. You can enjoy them on their own or make them part of a larger breakfast spread.

Ingredients

1 cup lightly packed baby spinach - chopped
3/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper - about 1 small pepper
3/4 cup finely diced green bell pepper - about 1 small pepper
3/4 cup quartered cherry tomatoes - or grape tomatoes, about 1 cup whole tomatoes
6 large eggs
4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch ground black pepper - or cayenne pepper if you like a little kick!
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese - plus additional to sprinkle on top
Optional toppings: avocado - salsa, hot sauce, freshly chopped parsley

Method

* Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.

* Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.

* Divide the spinach, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and tomatoes among the cups (they will be about two-thirds of the way full).

* In a large bowl or large measuring cup with a spout (my favorite because it makes the mixture easy to pour), briskly whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, basil, oregano, and pepper until well combined.

* Carefully fill each muffin cup three-quarters of the way to the top with the egg mixture. Sprinkle the feta evenly over the tops of the cups.

* Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until the egg muffins are set. Let cool for a few minutes, and then run a butter knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen it.

* Remove them from the pan and enjoy immediately, or let cool on a wire rack and refrigerate or freeze for later.
