These easy veggie-loaded egg muffins are a quick, healthy, and satisfying breakfast or snack option, perfect for busy mornings or meal prep. Packed with fresh vegetables and fluffy eggs, they offer a nourishing grab-and-go meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 large eggs (about 500g) at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole or 2% milk (can substitute with almond or oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) chopped bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1/2 cup (30g) fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (40g) finely diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup (40g) shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup (50g) shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried herbs (Italian seasoning or oregano, optional)
  • Olive oil or non-stick spray to grease the muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin well with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Wash and finely chop bell peppers, spinach, onion, and carrots into small, uniform pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 10 large eggs and 1/4 cup (60ml) milk until uniform and frothy.
  4. Stir in 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp dried herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Fold chopped veggies and shredded cheese (if using) into the egg mixture gently but thoroughly.
  6. Pour the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes. Check at 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, muffins are done.
  8. Let the muffins rest for 5 minutes in the tin before gently loosening and removing them.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier muffins. Chop veggies finely to avoid sogginess and ensure even cooking. Grease muffin tin well or use silicone liners to prevent sticking. Adjust baking time if using mini or jumbo muffin tins. Pat watery veggies dry before mixing. Muffins store well in the fridge up to 5 days and freeze well for longer storage.
