Baked Egg Muffins
Baked Egg Muffins provide a savory, protein-rich breakfast or snack option combining whisked eggs and egg whites with sautéed bell pepper, onion, broccoli, and mushrooms. Feta cheese and fresh parsley add a creamy and herbal note. The mixture is baked in a muffin tin until set, yielding individual portions that are firm yet tender and convenient for on-the-go enjoyment.
Ingredients
- 6 egg large
- 1 cup egg or another 6 eggs, white
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 bell pepper chopped, orange
- 1/2 cup yellow onion chopped
- 1 cup broccoli chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1/3 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 2 Tablespoons parsley fresh
- cooking spray I use coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Prep muffin tin: Spray twelve-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone baking cups. I sprayed the silicone baking cups with spray, just to be on the safe side.
- Whisk eggs: Place eggs and egg whites into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sauté vegetables: Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon oil. Add in chopped veggies (bell pepper, onion, broccoli and mushrooms) and cook for about 5-6 minutes, until they’re a little soft and the onions are fragrant.
- Add mix-ins: Add sautéed veggies into the bowl with the whisked eggs. Add in feta and parsley and mix well.
- Divide mixture: Pour egg mixture into muffin cups evenly. I used a 1/3 cup measuring cup to pour each one.
- Bake: Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the egg cups are no longer jiggly and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow cups to cool and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Store cooled egg muffins in a sealed container in the refrigerator if preparing in advance.
- Reheat muffins in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds before serving if desired warm.
