How to Make Mediterranean Egg Muffins
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or use silicone muffin liners for easy removal.
2. Whisk the Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder until well combined.
3. Add the Mediterranean Mix-ins
Stir in the feta cheese, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced Kalamata olives.
4. Fill the Muffin Cups
Evenly distribute the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
5. Bake Until Set
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and slightly golden on top.
6. Cool and Serve
Let the egg muffins cool for 5 minutes, then gently remove them from the tin. Serve warm, or store them for later!
My Best Tips for Perfect Egg Muffins
- Use silicone muffin liners – They make removing the muffins super easy.
- Don’t overbake – Check for doneness at 18 minutes to keep them soft and fluffy.
- Customize with veggies – Try adding bell peppers, mushrooms, or red onions.
- Make them dairy-free – Swap the feta for dairy-free cheese or nutritional yeast.
