Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and chop the mushrooms into small pieces.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Rinse and chop the spinach leaves.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 4 tsp of coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped mushrooms and onions, and sauté until they become tender and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the 4 whole eggs and 4 egg whites together until well combined.
- Mix in the almond flour, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
- Add the sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the remaining 4 tsp of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each muffin.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These muffins can also be frozen for longer storage; reheat them in the microwave or oven when ready to eat.
Tips:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Chop the vegetables into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Whisk the eggs and egg whites together thoroughly to create a consistent mixture.
- You can use different vegetables if you prefer, or add herbs and spices for extra flavor.
- Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin to help them hold their shape.
- These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
