  • Total Time: 32-34 minutes
  • Yield: 9 muffins

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 cups diced red bell pepper (about 2 medium)
  • ½ cup chopped scallions

      • Egg Mixture

      • 9 large eggs
      • 1 garlic clove, grated
      • Heaping ½ teaspoon sea salt
      • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
      • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
      • ¾ teaspoon baking powder

      Other

      • Extra-virgin olive oil, for greasing the pan
      • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a nonstick muffin tin with extra-virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Add vegetables to muffin cups: Evenly divide the diced red bell peppers and chopped scallions among the prepared muffin cups, providing a flavorful veggie base for the muffins.
  3. Mix egg batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the 9 large eggs until smooth. Add the grated garlic, sea salt, and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour and baking powder over the mixture, then whisk gently to incorporate. It’s fine if a few small flour clumps remain.
  4. Assemble the muffins: Evenly pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, using about a scant ¼ cup for each. Top each muffin with a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese to add a creamy, salty bite.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 24 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the pan before carefully removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use a nonstick muffin tin or ensure the pan is well greased to prevent sticking.
  • You can substitute feta cheese with other cheeses like cheddar or goat cheese if preferred.
  • These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
  • Adding herbs such as parsley or dill can enhance the flavor profile.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
