Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1/2 cup egg whites
120g
1/2 cup spinach
16g
1/4 red pepper
30g
1/4 green pepper
30g
1/4 onion
27g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
Lightly spray a standard 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
3. Chop the Vegetables:
- Finely chop 1/4 of an onion.
- Dice 1/4 of a red bell pepper.
- Dice 1/4 of a green bell pepper.
- Roughly chop 1/2 cup of fresh spinach leaves.
4. Mix the Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the egg whites, chopped spinach, diced red and green bell peppers, and chopped onion. Add a dash of salt to taste, and mix everything together until well-combined.
5. Fill the Muffin Cups:
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Make sure that the vegetables are distributed evenly across the cups.
6. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
Allow the egg cups to cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.
8. Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.

Tips:

- Make sure to finely chop the spinach, red pepper, green pepper, and onion for even distribution and cooking.

- Use silicone muffin liners or a silicone muffin tray for easy removal and cleanup.

- Feel free to add your favorite seasonings or herbs for extra flavor, such as garlic powder, black pepper, or chopped chives.

- If you prefer whole eggs instead of egg whites, you can substitute them using approximately 3 large eggs.

- These egg cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. To reheat, simply microwave for 20-30 seconds.

These Spinach and Pepper Egg Cups are both nutritious and delicious, making them an excellent addition to your meal prep routine. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or store them for a quick and easy breakfast throughout the week.
