If you're looking for a simple, nutritious breakfast that's perfect for busy mornings, these Egg & Veggie Breakfast Muffins have got you covered. Packed with fresh vegetables and creamy cheese, they're a delightful way to start your day with a burst of flavor and energy.
Eggs form the base of these muffins, providing protein and structure. The milk adds a touch of creaminess and helps to bind everything together. Spinach offers a boost of vitamins and a lovely green color, while the bell pepper adds crunch and a hint of sweetness. The cherry tomatoes bring a juicy, tangy element. Onion gives a subtle bite and depth of flavor. Cheddar cheese melts beautifully, enhancing the overall savoriness. A sprinkle of salt and black pepper seasons the mix, and olive oil adds richness. Lastly, a touch of garlic powder rounds out the flavor profile.
For a well-rounded breakfast, pair these muffins with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie. If you're feeling indulgent, a dollop of sour cream or a spoonful of salsa on top adds a delightful twist. You can also slice them in half and sandwich them with a slice of ham for extra protein.
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it warms up, prepare your muffin tin. Give it a light coating with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the muffins later on. You won't want any sticking disasters, trust me.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk them together until they're well combined. You’re aiming for a smooth, cohesive mixture here. Once that's ready, fold in the chopped spinach, bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt, black pepper, olive oil, and garlic powder. Stir everything until the veggies and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
Now, grab your prepared muffin tin and carefully pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them about 3/4 full. This leaves room for the muffins to puff up as they bake. Place the tin in your preheated oven and let them bake for 20-25 minutes. You'll know they're done when the tops are lightly golden and the muffins have set. Take them out, let them cool for a few minutes, and they're ready to enjoy.
