Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced sweet potato
1/4 cup diced shallots
1 cup chopped spinach
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 large bartlett pear, diced
9 large eggs
1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a medium skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the diced sweet potatoes and sauté, roughly 5 minutes
Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced shallots. Sauté an additional 2-3 minutes until shallots are opaque and sweet potatoes are slightly softened
Add the chopped spinach and and toss until wilted slightly. This should only take a minute. Remove everything from the pan and set aside
Wipe the pan clean and add the chopped walnuts. Toast the walnuts over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Set aside
In a large bowl, crack 9 eggs and whisk 1/2 cup almond milk. Add the diced pears, the toasted walnuts, and the sweet potato, shallot, spinach mixture. Mix well
Gently pour the eggs into the each mold in a muffin tin, filling to the top. Use silicone muffin liners for easy cleanup if desired. If not using muffin liners, grease the muffin tin well to avoid the egg from sticking
Bake for 27-30 minutes, until the eggs are set
Let cool and enjoy, or refrigerate to reheat later
