Egg Muffins
Ingredients
Sauce
Steps
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking oil.
~3 min
Finely chop the bacon and fry until crisp; finely dice the spinach and bell pepper.
~5 min
Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper.
~2 min
Divide the bacon, spinach, bell pepper, and cheese among the muffin cups, then pour in the egg mixture.
~3 min
Watch out: Filling the cups all the way to the top makes them overflow as they puff — fill to about 80% full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, until the eggs are fully set.
~17 min
Remove from the tin, let cool briefly, and serve.

A great way to use up leftover vegetables or ham from the fridge.
