Ingredients
-
1 cup lightly packed baby spinach, chopped
-
1 1/2 cups diced red and/or green bell peppers
-
3/4 cup diced tomatoes
-
1 cup cottage cheese* (optional - level 2)
-
10 whole large eggs
-
1/4 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
-
1/4 tsp dried basil
-
1 pinch ground black pepper
-
Optional toppings: avocado, hot sauce, parsley, Betr salsa
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
Lightly coat a standard muffin tin with nonstick spray
Divide the spinach, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and tomatoes among the cups (they will be about 1/2 - 2/3 of the way full)
In a large bowl or large measuring cup with a spout whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese salt, basil, and pepper. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters of the way to the top with the egg mixture. Save room to rise
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove them from the pan and let cool on a wire rack before refrigerating 1/2 (6 muffins) and freezing the second half for next week
Recipe Note
Store leftover egg muffins in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Can be eaten cold but also reheat well in the microwave in just 30-60 seconds for an easy on-the-go snack, or breakfast. The muffins can be made with any of your favorite Level 1 veggies. Include ones that typically go well in an omelet, such as peppers and onions. Feel free to make them your own. Did you know that eating eggs for breakfast has been proven to cut cravings and reduce calorie intake by 50% for the rest of the day?
*Cottage cheese is not considered a Category I food and should be used sparingly and in moderation to best support gut-healing and inflammation-reduction goals.

Under the optional toppings, could you clarify the BETR salsa? I don’t see a recipe for this, and are all these ingredients good on Level One?
The recipe says 12 servings so that’s only one egg muffin for breakfast. I would have to eat more than one or add fruit. This would not hold me for breakfast.
I like these because they are a quick way to get in some protein to start the day. I find that I only need 6 eggs because I load up on a lot of veggies. To add more flavor, I also add onion & garlic powder.
It mentions mushrooms but they’re not on Levrl 1 list. Please revamp to be consistent with the program
