Ingredients
8 large eggs
¼ cup milk (optional, for extra fluffiness)
1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
½ cup finely diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
½ cup grated carrots
¼ cup finely chopped spinach
¼ cup sweet corn kernels
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions (optional)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Nonstick cooking spray or a little butter for greasing the muffin tin
Optional Add-Ins
Diced cooked turkey or chicken
Broccoli florets, finely chopped
Zucchini, grated and squeezed dry

Fresh parsley or chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and fluffy.
Stir in the cheese, vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed up and the centers are fully set.
Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before gently removing them from the pan.
Serve warm, or allow them to cool completely before storing.
Tips
Finely chop the vegetables so they’re easier for kids to enjoy.
Let children choose their favorite veggies to make mealtime more exciting.
Silicone muffin cups make cleanup easy and help prevent sticking.
These muffins are delicious with fresh fruit, whole-grain toast, or yogurt.
