Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups diced red bell pepper (about 2 medium)
- ½ cup chopped scallions
- 1 garlic clove (grated)
Egg Mixture
- 9 large eggs
- Heaping ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
Other
- Extra-virgin olive oil (for greasing the pan)
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare muffin tin: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a nonstick muffin tin with extra-virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Distribute vegetables: Evenly divide the diced red bell peppers and chopped scallions among the muffin cups, placing them at the bottom of each cup.
- Whisk eggs and season: In a large bowl, whisk together the 9 large eggs. Add the grated garlic, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle the flour and baking powder on top and whisk to combine thoroughly, allowing a few small clumps of flour to remain.
- Fill muffin cups with egg mixture: Divide the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, using about a scant ¼ cup in each. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of each filled muffin cup.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 22 to 24 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and no longer runny.
- Cool and serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the egg muffins to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the pan to serve or store.
