Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 cup spinach, chopped (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or your choice)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or herbs (oregano or basil)

Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with muffin liners to prevent sticking.

      Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and herbs until well combined.

        Mix Veggies: Add the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, onion, and halved cherry tomatoes to the egg mixture. Stir them together until evenly distributed.

          Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring every bite will have that cheesy goodness.

            Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are puffed up and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Remove: Allow the muffins to cool for about 5 minutes in the tin, then gently remove them and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Store or Enjoy: These egg muffins can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave them for 30-60 seconds or until warmed through.
