Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- ½ cup sweet onion, chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped {or any color of your choice}
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne red pepper {more or less for spice}
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese {or cheese of your choice}, divided
- Dash of salt and pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease your muffin tins {enough for 16-18 muffins} and set aside.
In a large bowl crack the eggs and whisk them together. Set aside.
In a large skillet heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, paprika, cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper and saute for 6-7 minutes, until the onion is soft.
Add the cooked vegetables to the eggs along with the chopped spinach and the 1 cup of cheese. Mix to combine and add a dash of salt and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tins {about ¾ of the way full} and sprinkle each muffin with a small amount of the ½ cup of leftover cheese.
Put the egg muffins in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the egg muffins are set in the middle and begin to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool before removing from the muffin tin.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream, salsa or topping of your choice.
Refrigerate remaining egg muffins in an airtight container.
