Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup butternut peeled and cut into 5mm cubes
  • 1 cup red pepper finely chopped
  • 75 g feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 small handful fresh basil
  • 6 eggs
  • Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the onions until glassy, add the butternut and red pepper and fry on a medium heat until the butternut is tender. About 10 minutes stirring often.
  3. In a mixing bowl beat the eggs with a whisk, then add the butternut, red pepper, feta cheese and salt & pepper and stir in.
  4. Pull the leaves off the basil stalks, if they’re small throw them into the egg mixture as is, if they’re large leaves, roughly chop them up and then add them to the egg mixture.
  5. Spoon the mixture into a muffin tin. You can make mini muffins (like I did) or regular muffins.
  6. Bake in the middle of the oven for 12 minutes until the egg is cooked through and a tester stick comes out clean.
Recipe Notes

You can make these muffins with almost any vegetables you have on hand, add bacon to them if you wish and your favourite cheese.
