Description

These Southwest-inspired scrambled egg bites are a meal prep dream. They’re packed with bold flavor and perfect for those hectic, grab-and-go mornings.


Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup canned diced tomatoes, liquid drained
  • 4 ounce canned green chilies, liquid drained
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • â…› teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup mixed bell peppers, finely chopped
  • ½ cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with silicone liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, paprika, cumin, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Fold in the green chilies and canned tomatoes. (Drain the canned tomatoes well to avoid excess moisture.)
  4. In the greased muffin pan, add a tablespoon of chopped peppers to each of the 12 cavities, followed by an equal amount of cheese.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each cup, filling about ¾ to almost full. Bake for 22–25 minutes or until the tops are puffed and set. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted.
  6. Let them cool slightly before removing. Garnish with cilantro and serve warm.
