Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup lightly packed baby spinach (chopped)
3/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper (about 1 small pepper)
3/4 cup finely diced green bell pepper (about 1 small pepper)
3/4 cup quartered cherry tomatoes ( or grape tomatoes, about 1 cup whole tomatoes)
6 large eggs
4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch ground black pepper (or cayenne pepper if you like a little kick!)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (plus additional to sprinkle on top)
Optional toppings: avocado (salsa, hot sauce, freshly chopped parsley)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Divide the spinach, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and tomatoes among the cups (they will be about two-thirds of the way full).
  • In a large bowl or large measuring cup with a spout (my favorite because it makes the mixture easy to pour), briskly whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, basil, oregano, and pepper until well combined. Carefully fill each muffin cup three-quarters of the way to the top with the egg mixture. Sprinkle the feta evenly over the tops of the cups.
  • Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until the egg muffins are set. Let cool for a few minutes, and then run a butter knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen it. Remove them from the pan and enjoy immediately, or let cool on a wire rack and refrigerate or freeze for later (see notes for more details).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 1h35m

Yield Makes 9

Number Of Ingredients 11

11 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon safflower oil, plus more for brushing (optional)
8 ounces breakfast sausage, casings removed
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1 cup finely shredded Asiago (4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice bath. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add 9 eggs; boil 6 minutes. Transfer to ice bath until cool enough to handle, then carefully peel and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, stirringto break up, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool slightly. Chop into pea-size pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 9 cups of a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups, or lightly brush with oil. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, whisk together remaining 1/2 cup oil, sour cream, 1/4 cup water, and remaining 2 eggs. Stir wet ingredients into dry until just combined. Fold in sausage, scallions, and 1/2 cup cheese. (Batter willbe thick and doughlike.)
  • Fill each prepared muffin cup with 2 tablespoons batter. Nestle a cooked egg in each. For each cup, scoop 2 more tablespoons batter and flatten it slightly to form a disk. Cover egg with disk; gently press to seal. Sprinkle tops with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until golden and tops spring back when lightly touched, about 22 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in tin, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
