Ingredients
6 large eggs
¼ cup milk
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup finely diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
¼ cup grated carrot
¼ cup finely chopped spinach
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion (optional)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
Step 2: Mix the Egg Base
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 3: Add the Vegetables
Stir in the diced bell peppers, grated carrot, chopped spinach, onion, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Step 4: Fill the Muffin Cups
Carefully divide the egg mixture among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed up and the centers are fully set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the omelet muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Success
Add sweet corn, peas, zucchini, or broccoli for extra nutrition.
Use mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese for a different flavor.
