Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 100g smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated or cubed plant-based cheese (plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Chop the smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces. Dice the bell peppers and onions, and roughly chop the spinach. Grate or cube your plant-based cheese (plant-based).
  2. Cook the Vegetables and Bacon: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft and fragrant. Add the turkey bacon and cook until it starts to crisp. Toss in the bell peppers and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts and the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.
  3. Mix the Egg Base: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk with salt, pepper, and the natural gelling agent until smooth and slightly frothy, which helps give the muffins a tender structure.
  4. Combine and Fill Muffin Tin: Fold the cooked veggies and turkey bacon into the egg mixture along with the plant-based cheese (plant-based). Lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil, then evenly pour the mixture into 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top. Optionally, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for a golden crust.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the egg muffins to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm or enjoy them chilled for a quick and easy breakfast.

Notes

  • Chop ingredients uniformly for even cooking and balanced texture.
  • Do not overfill muffin cups to prevent overflow and messy edges.
  • Use a toothpick or knife to check doneness; it should come out clean when muffins are done.
  • Use fresh veggies and quality turkey bacon for bright flavors.
  • Grease muffin tin well with olive oil to prevent sticking and ease removal.
