Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Fillings
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or cubed
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin lightly with oil or plant-based butter. Chop the smoked turkey bacon, fresh spinach, and cherry tomatoes into bite-size pieces.
- Whisk the Egg Mixture: Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, pepper, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent. Mix until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
- Combine the Fillings: Fold in the chopped turkey bacon, spinach, tomatoes, and plant-based cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the eggs are fully set. Test doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin before removing to help them hold their shape and make handling easier.
Notes
- Avoid overfilling the muffin cups to ensure even cooking and proper rising.
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and fluffier texture.
- Grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking and aid removal.
- Cool muffins completely before freezing to prevent sogginess.
- Adjust salt, pepper, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to taste.
