CHEESY VEGGIE EGG POPPERS
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or any cheese of your choice
- 1/2 cup diced mixed vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, or carrots
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or muffin liners
Instructions
- Wash and dice all the vegetables you are using. Peel the carrots and dice them as well if using.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or line with mini muffin liners.
- Prepare the egg mixture by taking a mixing bowl and cracking 6 eggs and whisking them together with the milk until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste at this point.
- Add vegetables and cheese by stirring in the shredded cheese and diced mixed vegetables into the egg mixture.
- Ensure that the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Fill the muffin tin by spooning the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top.
- Bake the mini muffins by placing the muffin tin in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mini muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
- You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they’re ready.
- Allow the mini muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve the veggie, egg, and cheese mini muffins as a tasty and nutritious snack or breakfast option for kids.
