Other

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and coat a muffin pan with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.

- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg and veggie mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.

- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the pan for a few minutes before carefully removing. Serve warm or store for later.
