Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup chopped cooked bacon
  • 1 cup diced cooked ham
  • 1 to 2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 to 2 cups baby spinach, sliced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well with butter.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms and onion for 4 to 5 minutes, until softened, then stir in the garlic for 30 seconds. Leave to cool slightly.
  3. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with salt and pepper until well combined.
  4. Divide the mushroom mixture, bacon, ham, tomatoes, bell pepper and spinach evenly among the muffin cups.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about three-quarters full, and sprinkle the cheddar on top.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the centres are just set and lightly puffed.
  7. Rest for 5 minutes, run a knife around the edges, lift out, and serve warm.
