Ingredients
To make 12 egg cups, here’s what you’ll need:
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup of cooked turkey breast, finely chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Cooking spray or muffin liners
Preparation
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Then, lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line each cup with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk again to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Add the Veggies and Turkey
Add the chopped turkey, spinach, red bell pepper, and green onions into the egg mixture. Gently stir everything together until well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Egg Cups
Divide the egg mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Aim for each cup to be about three-quarters full. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top of each egg cup for a cheesy finish.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be slightly golden and puffed.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the egg cups to cool slightly in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Serve warm, or let them cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They also freeze well for longer storage.
