Chef's Note

These savory muffins are perfect for busy students! Make a batch on Sunday and you'll have grab-and-go breakfasts all week. For extra savings, use whatever vegetables you have on hand - leftover roasted vegetables work great too. You can also substitute the ham with any leftover protein you might have.

Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 medium bell pepper

  • 1 cup spinach

  • 2 stalks green onions

  • 1/2 cup cooked ham

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, oregano, or Italian seasoning)

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.

  • 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk until well combined.

  • 3

    In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

  • 4

    Finely dice 1/2 medium bell pepper, chop 1 cup spinach, slice 2 stalks of green onions, and dice 1/2 cup cooked ham.

  • 5

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

  • 6

    Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another minute until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  • 7

    Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir until just combined (don't overmix).

  • 8

    Fold in 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, the sautéed vegetables, sliced green onions, diced ham, and 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs.

  • 9

    Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

  • 10

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • 11

    Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • 12

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
