Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177ºC) and prepare non-stick muffin tin. Muffin cups or brushing the pan with olive or avocado oil will work too.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together eggs, veggies and 2/3 of the cheddar.
• Pour egg mixture evenly into muffin cups, sprinkle remaining cheddar across the top and season with salt and pepper according to taste.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire cooling rack for at least 5 minutes before removing from pan and serve.

Notes

To prevent sticking: Using a good quality non-stick muffin tin is key. If in doubt, make sure the pan is well-oiled or use muffin liners.

Storage: Left over egg muffins can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, allow to cool completely then let sit on a tray or plate in the freezer for 2-3 hours. Transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag and store for up to 1 month. To reheat, let thaw to room temperature and warm in the microwave for 30 seconds.
