Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare your Veggie Loaded Breakfast Minis:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
