Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (your choice of dairy or plant-based)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup mixed bell peppers, diced (incorporate red, yellow, and green for a vibrant touch)

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/3 cup shredded cheese (choose from cheddar, feta, or your personal favorite)

1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional for meat lovers)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a standard muffin tin by lightly greasing each cup with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack open the six eggs. Pour in the milk and whisk vigorously until the mixture is well-combined and fluffy, creating a light and airy base for your muffins.

      Incorporate Veggies and Seasoning: Gently fold in the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onion into the egg mixture. If you're including bacon or sausage, add that as well. Season this colorful blend with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.

        Add the Cheese: Carefully fold in the shredded cheese at this point. This will create delightful pockets of melted cheese in each muffin, enhancing the flavor profile.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the egg and veggie mixture into the prepared muffin tin. Fill each cup about two-thirds full to allow space for the muffins to rise during baking.

            Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. The muffins should rise and set in the center, with a light golden color around the edges when done.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for approximately 5 minutes. Carefully remove them from the tin and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. For an extra pop of freshness, garnish with your choice of chopped herbs before serving.

                Enjoy: These omelet muffin cups are delicious served warm, but they also store beautifully in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a quick breakfast, simply reheat them in the microwave as needed.
