Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup milk (or use almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- Olive oil spray, for greasing muffin tin
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or line with silicone muffin liners.
2. Whisk the Base
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings (garlic powder and red pepper flakes).
3. Add the Fillings
Stir in the chopped spinach and feta cheese, mixing until evenly distributed.
4. Fill the Muffin Tin
Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
5. Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the muffins are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
6. Cool & Store
Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Swaps & Customizations
- Cheese: Try goat cheese, cheddar, or Swiss.
- Greens: Use kale or arugula in place of spinach.
- Protein Boost: Add cooked crumbled sausage or diced turkey bacon.
- Veggies: Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill: Leave a little room at the top of each muffin cup.
