Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Seasonings

  • 6 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, optional, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as basil, oregano, or chives), optional, finely chopped

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

Cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

Lean Protein (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken, turkey bacon, or tofu

Other

  • Cooking oil or cooking spray, for greasing muffin tins or ramekins

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop your chosen vegetables and proteins into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your muffin tin or ramekins with cooking oil or cooking spray.
  2. Whisk the Eggs and Seasonings: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until smooth. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any fresh herbs you like. This mixture will carry the flavors and bind all the ingredients together.
  3. Combine and Fill: Mix the chopped vegetables, proteins, and cheese into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture evenly into your prepared muffin tins or ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for the eggs to rise during baking.
  4. Bake Until Set: Place the filled tins in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the eggs are fully set and lightly golden on top. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the egg bowls to cool slightly before removing them from the tins to help them retain their shape. Serve warm or let them cool completely for storage.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for even mixing and baking.
  • Do not overfill the tins; leave space to let eggs rise without spilling.
  • Pre-cook dense vegetables like potatoes or carrots by sautéing before adding to the mixture.
  • Use sharp cheese varieties for deeper flavor without extra calories.
  • Add fresh herbs after baking to brighten taste and aroma.
  • Grease muffin tins or use silicone liners to prevent sticking.
  • These bowls store well refrigerated up to 4 days and freeze well up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in microwave for 30-60 seconds or oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes.
