Spanish Style Egg Muffins

January 5, 2017 by Laura 5 Comments

A few months ago I made a smoked salmon egg muffin recipe when I was trying to find a quick and healthy breakfast option that was also gluten free. They went down a hit in our house and Matt absolutely devours them, so I decided to try out a different flavour combination to mix things up a little.

This recipe is a little sweeter and spicier than the earthy flavours of the smoked salmon and mushroom combo I did previously. This recipe uses green and red peppers, tomatoes and a dash of paprika to give it that bold and bright Spanish flavour and the colours really make them pop. For the tomatoes, I’d recommend using a small, sweet variety like cherry or plum tomatoes.

These egg muffins will last in the fridge for around 3-4 days. You can just pull a couple out each morning and give them a short blast in the microwave. You can also freeze them, so if you wanted to make a really big batch and pull a few out each week, that’s another good option!

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 Celsius/390 Fahrenheit.

  3. When the oil is hot, add in the shallot and leave to sweat with the lid on for 3 minutes.
  4. Then add in your garlic, peppers, tomatoes and paprika and sweat for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure they don’t stick. Turn off the heat and leave the pan to cool on the side.

    Sounds really tasty- I am going to try as I love the peppers but will be adding a little bit of chili as well to give it a bit of a bite. Thanks for the recipe.

    Like this one, but my god woman! Curry? Bleah!!! The other recipes are so far out of the realm of my possibility.

    Every time I make these they stick to the pan, even if I oil the nonstick muffin tin first! Any suggestions on how to not get them to stick?

      It could be a good idea to use greaseproof paper.

    Tried to find the smoked salmon muffin recipe you mentioned you made a couple of months ago, but there’s only the Spanish ones, my husband hot smoked a filleted full salmon for me now we have lots of leftovers waiting for yummy recipes to make with it, I was so wanting to try the muffin recipe as well as the fishcakes.
