Simple recipe for high-protein egg cups perfect for quick, on-the-go breakfast meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup lightly packed baby spinach chopped
  • ¾ cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • ¾ cup finely diced green bell pepper
  • ¾ cup quartered cherry tomatoes
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 large egg whites
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch ground black pepper or cayenne pepper
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese plus additional to sprinkle on top
  • Optional toppings: avocado salsa, hot sauce, freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  2. Divide the spinach, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and tomatoes among the cups.
  3. In a large bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, basil, oregano, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Carefully fill each muffin cup three-quarters of the way to the top with the egg mixture. Sprinkle the feta evenly over the tops of the cups.
  5. Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until the egg muffins are set.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes, then run a butter knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen it. Remove from the pan and serve, or cool on a wire rack for storage.

Notes

  • TO STORE: Let the muffins cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • TO REHEAT: Place on a microwave-safe plate. Reheat gently in the microwave on medium power for about 30 seconds (from thawed) or 1 to 2 minutes (from frozen).
  • TO FREEZE: Let the muffins cool completely, then individually wrap them in plastic wrap. Place them in a ziptop bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or reheat directly from frozen.
