YIELD: 1 dozen medium muffins
PREP TIME: 15 minutes
COOK TIME: about 18 to 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME: about 45 minutes, for cooling
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup small diced onion
- 1/2 cup small diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup frozen peas (I didn’t thaw)
- 8 white eggs
- salt and pepper, to taste
- about 12 tablespoons shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided
Step:
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Spray a Non-Stick 12-Cup Regular Muffin Pan *extremely well* with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl add peppers, peas, onion and toss to combine.
Loosely pile of vegetable mixture to each muffin cavity, filled to about 2/3 to 3/4 full; set pan aside. - In another bowl add white egg and beat with a whisk.
Add the salt and pepper, to taste, and whisk to combine. - Pour about 2-3 tablespoons of egg into each cavity, equally distributing among the cavities.
They will be about 3/4 full after being topped off with egg. - Top each cup with a generous pinch of cheese, about 1 tablespoon each.
Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until muffins are set, cooked through, and are lightly golden. - They will puff in the oven, but sink upon cooling. Allow muffins to cool in pan on top of a wire rack for about 10 minutes before removing.
