Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs free-range recommended
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup zucchini diced
  • 1/4 cup onion finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese grated

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly and come out perfectly fluffy.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Tin. Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.
  3. Step 3: Whisk the Eggs. In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs. Use a whisk to beat the eggs until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Add the Vegetables. Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and finely diced onion to the eggs. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Step 5: Season the Mixture. Sprinkle in the kosher salt and black pepper, mixing well.
  6. Step 6: Add Cheese. Fold in the grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Step 7: Pour into Muffin Tin. Using a spatula, carefully pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Step 8: Bake. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.
  9. Step 9: Cool and Store. Once baked, cool the muffins in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
