Roasted Bell Pepper and Spinach Egg Cups
Roasted Bell Pepper and Spinach Egg Cups are light and fluffy with the perfect amount of sweetness from the roasted bell pepper. The mozzarella cheese adds a creaminess inside each bite. Spinach is actually pretty hidden in this recipe (as far as taste goes) so even my anti-spinach people can enjoy while getting all those great nutrients.
Tips & Tricks
Meal Prep
These Roasted Bell Pepper and Spinach Egg Cups make a fantastic meal prep breakfast item! Prepare as instructions state, let the muffins cool completely and then store in freezer bags to place in the fridge or freezer for later. To re-heat, defrost and then microwave two at a time for 1 minute, 10 seconds. Store in fridge for up to five days.
Easy Removal
To avoid these Egg Cups from sticking, make sure to spray the pan well with a non-stick spray. Also, let them cool for a few minutes before taking a butter knife and doing a quick swipe around each muffin cup rim. The muffins should release easily after this!

I’ve made this before! It’s so easy and good. I like making it in a pie pan!
I call them frittata bites and use chickpea flour for my vegan recipe 🙂
Frittata bites is a cute name for them.
Yum! Eggs are such a versatile food. Love that these are so quick, healthy, and easy to be prepped ahead of time!

Eggs are an amazing food!
I love the splash of color with these! This is definitely a go-to breakfast recipe when boring cereal just won’t do.
Yesm the color is nice in these. So much nicer to have a warm breakfast… especially as it starts to get colder outside.
