Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 10 Eggs
  • 1/2 pound Ground Beef cooked
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Onion
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Bell Peppers I like using a variety of green, red, yellow, and orange
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Spinach cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese Use whatever type of cheese you have on hand. Cheddar, Pepper Jack Swiss, Feta Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, and Mozzarella are all great options.
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the Ground Beef. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.  Add the ground beef, and break it up with a spatula as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.  Drain grease, and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess fat.
  • Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk and blend the eggs until smooth. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add remaining ingredients to the egg mixture  and stir to combine.
  • Divide the egg miture evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until eggs are set.

Notes

Recipe Variations:
  • Meat: ground turkey, chicken sausage, ham, breakfast sausage, crumbled bacon, or even leftover steak.
  • Veggies:  mushrooms, zucchini, kale, broccoli, or tomatoes 
  • Cheese:   Cheddar, Pepper Jack Swiss, Feta Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, or Mozzarella.
 
To Freeze:
For best results, flash freeze by setting them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sticking the pan in the freezer. This step prevents the muffins from freezing together. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container, label it, and return it to the freezer. Store in the freezer for 1-2 months.
To thaw, place them in the refrigerator the night before they are needed. In the morning, warm them in the oven at 350 degrees or microwave for 1 minute.
