  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

To create these delicious Veggie Loaded Breakfast Minis, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Mini buns (whole wheat or your choice of bread)
  • Eggs (6 large, preferably organic or free-range)
  • Milk (1/4 cup, for creamier scrambled eggs)
  • Cheese (1 cup, shredded; cheddar, mozzarella, or your preference)
  • Vegetables:
    • Spinach (1 cup, fresh or frozen)
    • Bell peppers (1 cup, diced; any color)
    • Mushrooms (1 cup, sliced)
    • Onions (1/2 cup, finely chopped)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Olive oil or butter (1-2 tablespoons, for cooking)
  • Fresh herbs (optional; parsley, chives, or cilantro for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Veggie Loaded Breakfast Minis:

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:
    • Wash and chop all the vegetables.
    • Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Add bell peppers and mushrooms, cooking until they soften, about 5 minutes.
    • Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Scramble the Eggs:
    • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
    • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil.
    • Pour the egg mixture into the pan, allowing it to set for a few seconds.
    • Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, creating soft curds.
    • When the eggs are mostly cooked but slightly runny, remove from heat. They will continue to cook in the residual heat.
  3. Assemble the Minis:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Slice the mini buns in half and place them on a baking sheet.
    • Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly over the bottom halves of the buns.
    • Add a generous portion of the cooked vegetables on top of the eggs.
    • Sprinkle shredded cheese over the vegetables.
  4. Bake and Serve:
    • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    • Remove from the oven and top with fresh herbs if desired.
    • Serve warm and enjoy your Veggie Loaded Breakfast Minis!
