Salmon + Bell Pepper Egg Muffins

Ingredients

  • 10 eggs
  • 1 Can Safe Catch Wild Pacific Pink Salmon
  • 1/4 Cup Milk (sub Almond or Coconut Milk for dietary needs)
  • 1 Medium-sized Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 Medium-sized Yellow Bell Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Dried Minced Onion
  • 1 Tbsp Dill
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh snipped chives for garnish

Tools you'll need

  • Muffin Pan
  • Bowl
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Fork
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Cooking Spray
  • Butter Knife

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Crack and add your eggs to a large mixing bowl. Vigorously whisk your eggs until combined well and little bubbles appear.
  • Add in your minced onion, dill, garlic powder, and salt, and whisk again until evenly combined. Set aside.
  • Grease a muffin tin WELL. You can use cooking oil, spray or cooking fat, but make sure all sides and base are well-greased: it will be key to your eggs not sticking when you lift your egg muffins out.
  • Finely dice both bell peppers and evenly distribute them among each muffin slot.
  • Prepare your can of Safe Catch salmon – open the can and flake the salmon with a fork to reincorporate the natural juices and nutrients back into the fish. DO NOT DRAIN!
  • Add a heaping teaspoon of salmon to each muffin slot until dispersed evenly.
  • Give your egg mixture another really good whisk and pour into each muffin notch filling to the top.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove and let egg muffins cool for a few minutes before taking a butter knife around each one and gently pulling your bell pepper egg muffins out onto a cooling rack or plate.
  • Top with chives, any other garnishes, or sauces, and enjoy!
