🥣 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 muffins)

• 6 large eggs

• ¼ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)

• ½ cup bell peppers, finely diced

• ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

• ½ cup spinach, chopped

• ⅓ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella

• Salt & black pepper to taste

• Optional: pinch of garlic powder or chili flakes

🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Veggies
   Finely chop all vegetables. If using watery veggies (like mushrooms), sauté briefly to remove excess moisture.

2. Mix the Eggs
   In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and seasonings until smooth.

3. Fill the Molds
   Lightly grease silicone muffin cups. Add veggies and cheese evenly into each cup, then pour egg mixture over the top (about ¾ full).

4. Air Fry
   Preheat air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
   Place muffin cups in the basket and cook for 10–13 minutes, or until the centers are set.

5. Cool & Serve
   Let cool for 3–5 minutes before removing. Enjoy warm or store for later.

❓ Q & A

Q: Why are my egg muffins watery?

A: Vegetables release moisture while cooking. Pre-cook watery vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini and avoid overfilling with raw veggies.

Q: Can I make these dairy-free?

A: Yes! Use unsweetened almond milk and skip the cheese or use dairy-free cheese.

Q: Can I use paper liners?

A: Silicone liners work best. Paper liners may stick unless well-greased.

Q: How do I know they’re done?

A: The center should be firm and not jiggly. You can insert a toothpick — it should come out clean.

Q: Can I double the recipe?

A: Absolutely. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer.
