Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for greasing)
- Optional: 1/4 cup diced onions, bell peppers, or cooked bacon for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the spinach: In a pan, sauté the chopped spinach over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until wilted, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Whisk the eggs: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk together with the heavy cream or almond milk. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add spinach and cheese: Stir in the sautéed spinach and shredded cheese into the egg mixture. If using optional ingredients (like diced onions or cooked bacon), mix them in now.
- Fill the muffin tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are fully set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and serve: Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Enjoy them warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
