Southwest black bean egg muffins are a nutritious and flavorful breakfast option that combines eggs, black beans,
and a variety of southwest-inspired seasonings and ingredients. They are baked in muffin tins for convenient,
portion-controlled servings. Here’s a recipe to make these delicious egg muffins:
Ingredients:
6 large eggs
1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the muffin
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them. Add the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper,
and whisk until well combined.
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
Divide the diced red bell pepper, red onion, diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans evenly among the muffin cups.
You can mix and match the ingredients in each cup.
Pour the beaten egg mixture over the vegetables in each muffin cup. Make sure not to overfill,
as the muffins will rise slightly during baking.
Sprinkle a portion of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each muffin cup.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes,
or until the egg muffins are set in the center and slightly puffed.
Once done, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg muffins cool for a few minutes before
removing them from the cups. Use a butter knife or silicone spatula to loosen the edges and lift them out.
Serve the Southwest black bean egg muffins warm or at room temperature.
You can enjoy them on their own or with a side of salsa or avocado.
These egg muffins are not only a great breakfast option but can also be a convenient snack or meal prep item.
