Ingredients (Makes 6–8 Muffins)

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (or unsweetened plant-based milk)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • Non-stick cooking spray or muffin liners

Optional Add-ins:

  • Cooked bacon or turkey sausage
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Herbs like parsley, dill, or chives

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners.

2. Prepare Egg Mixture:
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk until well combined. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

3. Add Veggies & Cheese:
Stir in chopped spinach, bell pepper, and crumbled feta. Mix until evenly distributed.

4. Fill Muffin Tin:
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.

5. Bake:
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.

6. Cool & Serve:
Let muffins cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm, or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Tips for Perfect Egg Muffins

  • Don’t overfill: Muffins will puff and rise slightly during baking.
  • Even chopping: Ensures every bite has a balanced flavor.
  • Use fresh spinach: Sautéed or frozen spinach works too—just drain excess moisture.
  • Make-ahead: Perfect for batch cooking—freeze for up to 2 months.

Variations

  • Low-Carb: Stick with spinach, feta, and eggs only.
  • Mediterranean Style: Add olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and oregano.
  • Protein Boost: Mix in cooked quinoa, chickpeas, or additional cheese.
  • Vegan Version: Use chickpea flour or tofu as egg replacement and plant-based cheese.
