The Egg & Veggie Muffins I Always Keep in the Fridge

These are one of those recipes I make once and then rely on all week.

They’re not fancy.They’re not “perfect breakfast” material.They’re just practical, nourishing, and surprisingly comforting.

I make them when mornings feel rushed, when lunchboxes need filling, or when I want something ready in the fridge that doesn’t require thinking. The kids eat them. I eat them. And they save me more often than I’d like to admit.

That’s enough reason to keep them on repeat.

Ingredients

• 8 eggs

• 1 to 1½ cups grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

• 1 small zucchini, grated and squeezed

• ½ red bell pepper, finely diced

• A handful of corn or peas

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Olive oil or butter for greasing

Optional additions:Spinach, mushrooms, onion, leftover veggies, or a bit of cooked chicken.This recipe is very forgiving. Use what you have.

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).Grease a muffin tin well or use paper liners.

2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and black pepper.

3. Add the grated cheese and vegetables. Mix gently until everything is evenly combined.

4. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.

5. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until set and lightly golden on top.

6. Let them cool slightly before removing from the tin.

That’s it. No extra steps.
