Ingredients

6 Country Lane free-range eggs

150g pumpkin purée (homemade or tinned)

50g grated cheddar

1 small red pepper, diced

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 tsp smoked paprika

¼ tsp nutmeg

Salt and pepper, to taste

Oil or butter, for greasing

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / gas mark 4. Grease a 6-hole muffin tin.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin purée, cheese, and spices together until smooth.

Add the diced pepper and onion, and stir to combine.

Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin cups.

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden and set in the centre.

Cool slightly before removing from the tin. Enjoy warm or store in the fridge for up to three days.

Tip: Add a few cooked bacon bits or chopped herbs for an extra twist!
