- Fresh spinach, roughly chopped, to taste
- Bacon, cooked and chopped, to taste

Other

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) to prepare it for baking the muffins.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, beat 4 large eggs until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Grease muffin tin and assemble: Lightly grease your muffin tin with vegetable oil or butter to prevent sticking. Pour the beaten egg mixture into each muffin cup halfway. Then add your desired fillings — chopped red and green bell peppers, fresh spinach, chopped cooked bacon, and halved cherry tomatoes — into each cup. Finally, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each muffin cup.
- Bake the muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and lightly golden on top.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the muffins from the oven, let them cool slightly, then carefully remove from the tin and enjoy warm for a wholesome breakfast or snack.
Notes
- You can customize the fillings to your liking by adding mushrooms, onions, or different types of cheese.
- Cooking bacon beforehand ensures it is crispy and reduces moisture in the muffins.
- These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
- Use silicone muffin cups for easier cleanup and removal.
- To make these muffins vegetarian, omit the bacon and add extra vegetables.
