Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and position the oven rack in the middle. Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by greasing each cup with 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, crack 6 large eggs and whisk together with 60 ml (1/4 cup) of milk until well combined, creating a uniform, frothy mixture.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese, 125 ml (1/2 cup) of diced bell peppers, 250 ml (1 cup) of chopped spinach, and 60 ml (1/4 cup) of diced onion into the egg mixture.
Verify all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Season the mixture with 2.5 g (1/2 teaspoon) of salt, 1.25 g (1/4 teaspoon) of black pepper, and 1.5 g (1/2 teaspoon) of garlic powder.
If desired, add 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of chopped optional herbs (e.g., parsley or basil) for extra flavor, and mix thoroughly.
Evenly pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow for rising during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the tops are set and lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
This will help them firm up slightly and ease removal.
Carefully run a butter knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen them, then gently pop them out of the muffin tin.
Allow the savory gluten-free egg muffins to cool on a wire rack for an additional 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Protein-Packed Chicken: Incorporate 125 ml (1/2 cup) of cooked, shredded chicken and reduce cheese to 60 g (1/2 cup) to increase protein while keeping the muffins gluten-free.
Dairy-Free Variation: Use almond or oat milk instead of regular milk and replace shredded cheese with 100 g (1 cup) of nutritional yeast for a vegan-friendly option.
Autumn Harvest: Mix in 125 ml (1/2 cup) of roasted butternut squash and 60 ml (1/4 cup) of chopped kale to achieve a seasonal favorite that celebrates fall flavors.

Tips on plating and presentation

To elevate your gluten-free egg muffins, pay attention to how you plate and present them.

I like to arrange the muffins on a colorful platter, garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color.

Pair them with a small bowl of salsa or avocado for dipping.

This simple presentation technique makes them visually appealing and enticing to enjoy.

What other dishes can I pair it with?

While your savory gluten-free egg muffins shine on their own, pairing them with complementary dishes can truly enhance the meal experience.

Consider serving a fresh garden salad tossed with a light vinaigrette for a invigorating contrast. A side of roasted sweet potatoes adds a touch of sweetness, while a creamy avocado dip can elevate the dish, making your brunch memorable and satisfying.
