Fixate - Vegetable Egg Cups

Autumn Calabrese, the brains behind Beachbody's 21 Day Fix has come out with a cookbook that is tailored for the program. Complete with clean eating recipes and portion-specific counts, this cookbook is fantastic (NOTE: There ARE some typos but Beachbody is working to put corrected versions onine. In the meantime, use your knowledge of the program to make any adjustments you should need). I wanted to share a few recipes from the book with you, starting with the Vegetable Egg Cups.
I'm not a huge breakfast person but I thought these were DELICIOUS! They are so simple to make and they are really easy to make ahead. Just make them all at once, put them in the refrigerator, then pop them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds before you are ready to eat them and they are good to go! The recipe even says to top them with homemade salsa (recipe also in book) but I didn't do that at the time of these photos.
INGREDIENTS
12 large eggs
Sea salt (or Himalayan salt) and ground black pepper (to taste, optional)
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
12 Tbsp. Homemade Salsa
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 375F.
2. Lightly coat a twelve-cup muffin tin with spray.
3. Place eggs in a large bowl; whisk to blend. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
4. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and green onions; mix well.
5. Evenly pour egg mixture into muffin cups.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cups comes out clean.
7. Top each egg cup with 1 Tbsp. Homemade Salsa
