These protein-packed egg muffins are the perfect breakfast item to grab when you are on the go! Eggs are rich in omega-3s, choline, and the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin. They are a great source of Vitamin A, B1, B6, B12, D, and folate. Mushrooms are an excellent source of selenium, which is an antiviral agent that helps improve your immune function during the COVID-19 pandemic. Including red pepper in this recipe will add additional fiber, protein, and flavor! Sprinkle in some garlic powder, pepper, and turmeric and enjoy!

Ingredients:

Serves 6

  • 12 eggs

  • 2 tsp coconut oil

  • 1 cup red pepper, chopped

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

  • 4 cups spinach

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 dashes pepper

  • 1 tsp turmeric

Instructions:

1) Preheat oven to 425 F. Place 12 muffin cups in muffin tin.

2) Melt coconut oil on a warm skillet and saute pepper and mushrooms for about 3 minutes until crisp-tender. Add spinach and cook until wilted.

3) Add vegetables to 12 muffin cups.

4) Whisk eggs and spices together and pour into 12 muffin cups. It’s okay if they only fill half-way because these will expand in the oven.

5) Place in oven and bake about 30 minutes, or until eggs have set. Enjoy!
