Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 fresh eggs
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen spinach, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with oil or cooking spray. Chop the smoked turkey bacon into bite-size pieces. If using, rinse and chop spinach. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Grate plant-based cheese if not pre-shredded.
- Mix the Egg Base: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until fully blended. Add the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), onion powder (natural), salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent if using. Stir well to combine. Fold in the chopped turkey bacon, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and plant-based cheese.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about three quarters full to allow room for rising without spilling over.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The Egg Muffins are done when golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin before carefully removing. Serve warm or store for later.
Notes
- Use eggs at room temperature for better mixing and fluffier muffins.
- Do not overfill muffin cups to prevent overflow during baking.
- Use a natural non-stick spray for easy cleanup and muffin release.
- Blot watery vegetables well before adding to avoid sogginess.
- Check doneness with a toothpick for perfect texture.
