🥗Healthier: banana pepper

💰Cheaper: green bell pepper

Green bell pepper provides crunch without the heat.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a muffin tin with cooking oil.

Chop bell peppers, onion, and jalapeño into small pieces.

In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped vegetables until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika; cook for another minute.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.

Add the sautéed vegetables to the eggs and mix well.

Spoon the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each cup.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the eggs are set and lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin.

Serve warm, topped with cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream.
