Ingredients
5pasture raised organic eggs
2/3cupmixed vegetablesI used chopped spinach, tomatoes and red pepper
1/2tspolive or safflower oil
1/3cupalmond milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Chop your mixed vegetables finely. You can really use whatever vegetables you and your kids like the most. I had red pepper, tomatoes and spinach on hand so that's what I used. Mushrooms and onions would go well in here too.
Add oil to a small pan on the stovetop and cook the chopped vegetables on medium-low heat until the peppers start to sweat and the spinach wilts. This takes 3-5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors while they're cooking.
Meanwhile, whisk together your eggs in a bowl and add the cooked vegetables when you're done.
Add the egg mixture to a non-stick muffin pan. We use silicon bakeware and I never have to grease it, but if your pan tends to stick then use a small amount of oil to grease it very slightly. You don't want to be able to see excess oil when you're done greasing.
Put the muffin pan into the oven and bake for 30 minutes. If the egg muffins do not seem firm on top, then cook for a few more minutes.
Remove from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes and serve.
Recipe Notes
Make Ahead: Freeze or refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container. They will be good in the fridge for 4 days, and in the freezer for two weeks. Reheat the refrigerated egg muffins in the oven at 350 until warm (about 5 min) or in the microwave oven for 30 seconds.
