Description
Hey friends, Beau here! Let’s be real—mornings can be chaotic. Snooze buttons are tempting, your stomach is growling, and you’re staring at the eternal breakfast question: “What should I eat?” Toast? Meh. Cereal? Boring. A full omelet? Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Ingredients
Egg Base:
-
6 large eggs (protein-packed stars)
-
1/4 cup milk (any kind—whole milk, almond, oat, or cream)
Veggie & Cheese Mix:
-
1/2 cup bell peppers, finely diced (red, green, or yellow)
-
1/4 cup red onion, diced
-
1/2 cup spinach, chopped (or kale/Swiss chard)
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella, feta, pepper jack)
Seasoning:
-
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
-
Optional: garlic powder, smoked paprika
Optional Add-Ins:

Cooked bacon, ham, sausage, diced tomatoes, green onions (~3/4 cup total)
Instructions
-
Prep Oven & Muffin Tin
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone muffin cups for easy removal.
-
-
Whisk the Eggs
-
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add milk.
-
Whisk 30–45 seconds until smooth and slightly frothy.
-
Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
-
-
Add Veggies & Cheese
-
Gently fold in bell peppers, onion, spinach, cheese, and any extras.
-
Don’t overmix—just enough to distribute everything evenly.
-
-
Portion & Bake
-
Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes until tops are set and lightly golden.
-
-
Cool & Serve
-
Let muffins cool in the pan 5 minutes before removing.
-
Serve warm, or store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
-
Freeze individually for up to 2 months; microwave 60–90 seconds to reheat.
-
Serving Ideas
-
Sprinkle extra cheese or fresh herbs on top.
-
Pair with avocado, salsa, or Greek yogurt.
-
Great for breakfast, lunchbox snacks, or a quick dinner with a side salad.
Notes
-
Sauté wet veggies (like mushrooms or zucchini) first to avoid soggy muffins.
-
Go light on salt if using cured meats like bacon or ham.
-
Overmixing eggs or overbaking can make muffins rubbery—stop whisking once combined and bake until just set.
-
Silicone liners are the ultimate tool for easy removal.
