Why you'll love this recipe
What I like about this meal is that it's already portioned - that way I can't slip and slice a piece that's too big.....of course I could have two....but then I'd be busted! 😉
Ingredients
I used veggies that I had on hand; a potato, onion, red pepper, tomatoes and some cheese. Spinach or kale would also be a delicious addition! Use the vegetables you prefer.
For the exact measurements, please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- cooked potato
- red pepper
- yellow onion
- olives
- tomatoes
- shredded cheese
- eggs
- half and half or heavy cream
Instructions
This is an overview, for detailed instructions just scroll down to the bottom!
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
- scrub the potato well, chop it into a small ½ inch dice. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of olives oil and 1 teaspoon grill seasoning (I used Lawry's). Spread onto a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, stirring once during cooking.
- While the potatoes are cooking chop the red pepper & onion. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat.. Add the peppers and onion to a skillet. Sauté for about 6-7 minutes until they are softened. Remove from heat.
- Chop the tomatoes and olives, add to the skillet.
- After 20 minutes remove the potatoes from the oven and add them to the skillet. Mix everything together well.
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the half & half, salt and pepper. Using a mixer, mix well for a minute on high speed.
- Spray the muffin tin well with non-stick coating. Spoon a heaping tablespoon into each muffin, top with about a teaspoon of cheese.
- Using a measuring cup (for ease of pouring) fill each muffin tin within ¼ inch of top with egg mixture. Do not overfill.
- Place in preheat oven for 20 minutes.

I never have half and half on hand. Do you think I could use 2% and a little melted butter? Or maybe some canned milk? Thanks for all the great recipes.
Bowl Me Over says
Canned milk would be a great substitute Lynn!
