Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) egg whites (or another 6 eggs)
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon (15 ml) coconut oil
- 1/2 orange bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) yellow onion, chopped
- 1 cup (240 ml) broccoli, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup (240 ml) mushrooms, sliced
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) feta
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh parsley
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F and spray twelve-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone baking cups.
Place eggs and egg whites into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon oil. Add in chopped veggies (bell pepper, onion, broccoli and mushrooms) and cook for about 5–6 minutes, until they’re a little soft and the onions are fragrant.
Add sauteed veggies into the bowl with the whisked eggs. Add in feta and parsley and mix well.
Pour egg mixture into muffin cups evenly.
Bake for 17–20 minutes, or until the egg cups are no longer jiggly and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow cups to cool and enjoy immediately.
