Veggie Egg Muffins

Veggie egg muffins are the make-ahead breakfast that actually gets eaten all week, baked in a batch and grabbed on the way out the door. D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04 is a gentle, herbal oil, and vegetables are one of its best-known pairings.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, D.O.P. Monti Iblei 04, and milk together until smooth.
  3. Stir in the diced zucchini, bell pepper, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
