Instructions

  1. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat; add oil, broccoli, green onion and red pepper. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until vegetables are softened. 
  2. Stir eggs, salt and pepper into the vegetable mixture. Cook, stirring until eggs are set, about 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Preheat broiler. Place muffins on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly, or bake in preheated 350⁰ F oven for 3 to 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
  5. Serve with a drizzle of salsa on top. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
