Ingredients

For the Muffins

12 large Eggs Main protein source, essential for fluffiness
1 cup Chorizo Smoky and spicy kick; ground turkey is a leaner option
1 medium Jalapeño Fresh heat; can be omitted for milder muffins
1 cup Pepper Jack Cheese Creamy texture with a spicy bite; can substitute with cheddar
1 cup Bell Peppers Offer sweetness and color; any variety is fine
1 medium Onion Enhances depth of flavor; shallots are a milder substitute
1 cup Fresh Spinach Nutrient-dense addition; frozen spinach must be drained well
4 oz Cream Cheese Gives a rich texture; ricotta can be a lighter alternative
1 tbsp Dill Adds a fresh burst; chives or parsley can be substitutes

For Seasoning

1 tsp Salt Balances flavors; sea salt adds minerals
1 tsp Pepper Enhances taste; freshly cracked black pepper is best
2 tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning Ideal for topping; mix sesame, garlic, and onion as an alternative
