2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped and packed

5 large eggs
One 2.6-ounce pouch wild-caught pink salmon in extra-virgin olive oil, flaked*

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat 6-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 5 minutes. (Adjust heat to medium if peppers begin to burn.) Add spinach and onions and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Crack eggs into large bowl. Whisk until well combined. Stir in salmon, cheese, basil, cooked vegetables and salt and pepper until combined. Use a 1/3 measuring cup to divide mixture evenly into prepared muffin cups. Bake until eggs are set, about 18 minutes.
Serve with 1 slice toast with topping of your choice and fruit or vegetable salad on the side.
