Instructions

  1. Preheat your #[Oven] to ![350°F]. Generously spray a 12-cup #[Muffin Tin] with #[Cooking Spray], making sure to coat the sides and rims well to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large #[Mixing Bowl], crack in all 10 @[Large Eggs] and add the @[Milk], @[Fine Sea Salt], @[Black Pepper], and @[Garlic Powder]. Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy, about ~[1 minute].
  3. Evenly distribute the diced @[Red Bell Pepper], chopped @[Baby Spinach], diced @[Yellow Onion], and crumbled @[Turkey Sausage] (if using) among the 12 #[Muffin Tin] cups, filling each about one-third full with the veggie and protein mixture.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling each about three-quarters full (leave room — they puff up as they bake). Sprinkle shredded @[Cheddar Cheese] evenly over the top of each cup.
  5. Bake in the preheated #[Oven] for ~[18–22 minutes], until the eggs are fully set in the center and the tops are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Let cool in the pan for ~[5 minutes] before running a butter knife around the edges to release.
  6. Garnish with fresh chopped @[Parsley] if desired. Serve warm, or let cool completely before transferring to an #[Airtight Container]. Refrigerate for ~[up to 5 days] or freeze individually for ~[up to 2 months].
