Here’s my slightly embellished version of a lovely recipe from Lauren at Eat Drink and Be Hopeful. Enjoy your spring eggs, and do your best to get ones with deep yellow-orange yolks that sit up high on the egg whites like little sentries perched up high! You can be assured that the deeper the yellow-orange color, the more nutritious the eggs and the happier the chickens who laid them.
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 c. dairy milk, almond milk, or coconut milk
- 1 c. chopped cherry tomatoes
- Choose 2-3 of these:
- 1/2 c. chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 c. chopped spinach
- 1/2 c. smoked salmon
- 1/2 c. asparagus, in 1 /2 inch segments
- 1/2 c. mushrooms, finely chopped and lightly sauteed in olive oil
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. white pepper
With your finger, lightly spread each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil. Whisk together the eggs and milk, and season with salt and pepper. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full with egg mixture.
Sprinkle bits of tomatoes, pepper, salmon, mushrooms, asparagus and/or spinach in each cup. Bake at 350 degrees 8-10 minutes until eggs puff up and are just barely set. Let cool a few minutes, loosen, and serve immediately. You can refrigerate the leftovers for later.
