Ingredients

• 8 pieces large eggs
• 1/4 cup low-fat milk
• 1 cup bell peppers (any color), diced
• 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
• 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Stir in the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, sliced green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 4

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Using a ladle or measuring cup, divide the egg mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for the eggs to puff up as they cook.

Step 6

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before using a knife to loosen them from the pan.

Step 8

Serve warm, or let the muffins cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
