Preheat oven to 350°F and coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Add the eggs to a large 4-cup measuring cup or mixing bowl and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Whisk the eggs vigorously until fluffy.
Into each of the muffin cups add a handful of spinach, 4 grape tomato halves, a sprinkling of scallions, and your preference of cheese. Then fill with egg mixture about 90% full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let the egg muffins cool in the tin slightly, then run a knife along the outer edge and remove.
Notes
To make ahead: Bake and let cool completely. Then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap each egg muffin individually in plastic then store in a freezer container for up to a month. To reheat, remove any plastic, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave on High for 30 to 60 seconds.
Adapting the Recipe:Use these simple ratios when adjusting the number of egg muffins:
Eggs: Plan on 1 large egg per standard muffin cup. Use 12 eggs for a 12-cup muffin tin or 6 eggs for a 6-cup tin.
Vegetables: Use about 3 to 4 cups of chopped mixed vegetables for 12 muffins, or 1½ to 2 cups for 6 muffins.
Filling the cups: Divide the vegetables among the muffin cups first, add the cheese, and then pour in the egg mixture. Fill each cup about 90% full to leave room for the eggs to rise as they bake.
Smaller batches: Halve all ingredients for 6 muffins. The baking time should remain about the same, although begin checking a few minutes early.
