Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 cups diced red bell pepper (about 2 medium)
- ½ cup chopped scallions
- 1 garlic clove, grated
Egg Mixture
- 9 large eggs
- Heaping ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
Other
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for greasing the pan
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the muffins.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a nonstick muffin tin lightly with extra-virgin olive oil. Evenly distribute the diced red bell peppers and chopped scallions among the muffin cups to create a flavorful vegetable base.
- Mix Egg Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the 9 large eggs until smooth. Add the grated garlic, sea salt, and several grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour and baking powder on top, then whisk gently to combine. It’s fine if some small clumps of flour remain.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about a scant ¼ cup per cup over the peppers and scallions. This ensures each muffin is evenly portioned.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of each filled muffin cup for a savory finish.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 24 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and lightly risen.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool before carefully removing them from the pan. Enjoy fresh or store for meal prep.
Notes
- Store cooked egg muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until warmed through.
- Feel free to customize with other vegetables or cheeses based on preference.
- Make sure the egg mixture is slightly lumpy to help create a light texture.
