Ingredients

  • 2 cups spinach, chopped
  • 1 large roma tomato, seeds removed and diced
  • ½ cup baby bella mushrooms, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Divide spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, and jalapeño evenly between 12 muffins in the tin.
  • In a large bowl whisk together eggs, almond milk, salt and pepper until well combined.
  • Fill each muffin about 3/4 way full with egg mixture, pouring over the veggies already in each tin. If using cheese, add 1 tablespoon on top of each egg muffin.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until eggs are set and puff up in the tin. Let muffins cool for a few minutes, then run a butter knife around the edges of each cup and remove. Serves 6 (2 egg cups each).

Notes

To meal prep: Make these ahead of time and pack in glass containers with ½ an avocado and ½ a cooked sweet potato for a well balanced breakfast.
