Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
• 0.5 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or use silicone muffin cups for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and chopped green onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and whole milk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Fold the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, then add the sautéed vegetables. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.

Step 6

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin. Use a knife to gently release the egg bites from the tin if needed.

Step 9

Serve warm or let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
