Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or crumbled
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Chop the cooked smoked turkey bacon into small bite-sized pieces, dice the bell peppers and onions, and roughly chop the spinach. Grate or crumble the plant-based cheese if needed.
  2. Mix the Egg Base: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and, if using, a small amount of natural gelling agent to help the muffins set perfectly. Stir in the chopped vegetables, turkey bacon, and plant-based cheese until evenly distributed.
  3. Fill the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin or use silicone liners for easy cleanup. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center it should come out clean when the muffins are fully cooked. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Egg Muffins warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete breakfast.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for fluffier muffins.
  • Do not overfill muffin cups to allow for expansion during baking.
  • Mix ingredients gently but thoroughly for even distribution of flavors.
  • Cook smoked turkey bacon before adding to avoid excess moisture.
  • Let muffins cool slightly in the pan before removing to prevent breaking.
