1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup cheese (cheddar, feta, or your choice), shredded

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, grated zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cheese. Mix well to combine.

      Whisk the Eggs: In another bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth. Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.

        Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the vegetable mixture into the whisked eggs, ensuring that everything is evenly coated.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg and veggie mixture into the greased muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow for rising.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and the tops are golden and slightly crispy.

              Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!

                Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
