Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (whole or your choice)

1 cup roasted red and yellow bell peppers, diced

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)

1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach (optional)

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil spray or butter for greasing muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray or butter to prevent sticking.

      Whisk Eggs Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

        Add Seasonings: Stir in the garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper into the egg mixture. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.

          Stir in Vegetables and Cheese: Gently fold in the diced roasted peppers, chopped spinach (if using), chopped onion, and shredded cheese into the egg mixture until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

            Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full to allow for rising.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are puffed up and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, gently run a knife around the edges to help release them, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. These mini egg muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them perfect for meal prep!
