Healthy doesn’t have to be bland! These egg muffins are loaded with all sorts of tasty goodness.
Makes 12
You’ll need: 12 extra-large eggs; 125ml cream; ½ cup spring onions, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, grated; 1 chilli, diced; 1 large red bell pepper, diced; 1 cup corn, cut off the cob (or frozen); 2 cups baby spinach; 60g (½ cup) mozzarella, grated; Salt and pepper, to taste; Olive oil
How to:
Preheat oven to 180˚C and grease a 12 cup cupcake tin.
Add a drizzle of olive oil to a large frying pan. Add spring onion, garlic and chilli. Cook until fragrant.
Add bell pepper and corn and cook until tender. Add spinach and cook until wilted and all water evaporates. Remove from the heat and stir through the cheese.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs and cream together. Season well. Evenly distribute the veggies into the cupcake tin.
Pour egg mixture over veggies.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and set.
