Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin pan with a light coat of cooking spray.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs with salt and pepper until light and frothy.
Gently fold the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the egg muffins are set and starting to turn golden on top.
Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
