Ingredients

Scale

Egg Muffins Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Chop the smoked turkey bacon into small pieces, dice the onion and cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop fresh spinach. Shred the plant-based cheese if needed. This preparation sets the stage for even, flavorful bites in every muffin.
  2. Cook the Turkey Bacon and Vegetables: In a non-stick pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the turkey bacon until it starts to crisp up. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Toss in the spinach and cherry tomatoes and cook for a couple more minutes until the spinach wilts slightly. This step infuses your muffins with smoky and savory notes straight from the pan.
  3. Mix the Egg Base: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, black pepper, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent to ensure a perfect texture. This mixture will bind everything together beautifully.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the sautéed turkey bacon, vegetables, and plant-based cheese into the egg mixture. Stir gently until ingredients are evenly distributed. Mixing well ensures every muffin is packed with flavor and color.
  5. Pour into Muffin Tin and Bake: Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy cleanup. Pour the mixture into each cup, filling about three-quarters full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before popping them out of the tin. Serve warm, or refrigerate for a quick snack anytime.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better blending and to prevent cracking while baking.
  • Do not overfill the muffin cups; leave room for the eggs to rise for perfect muffin shapes.
  • Customize your cheese by trying different plant-based cheese blends to vary the flavor profile.
  • Prep vegetables in advance by sautéing early to save time on busy mornings.
  • Let muffins cool before removing them from the tin to maintain shape and prevent breaking.
