Spinach & Feta Egg Muffins
Introduction:
These Spinach & Feta Egg Muffins are a tasty, portable way to start your day. Think mini crustless quiches with the tang of feta, the freshness of spinach, and a light, fluffy egg texture. Make a batch and keep them in the fridge for grab-and-go breakfasts or quick snacks during the week!
Ingredients (Makes 6–8 muffins):
6 large eggs
¼ cup milk (optional, for fluffier texture)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup finely chopped red onion or scallions
¼ tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: ¼ tsp dried oregano or a pinch of chili flakes for extra flavor
Instructions:
Prep Your Muffin Tin:
Lightly grease a silicone or nonstick muffin pan or use muffin liners.
If using an air fryer, use silicone muffin cups that fit inside the basket.
Make the Egg Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the chopped spinach, feta, and onion.
Fill the Muffin Cups:
Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ of the way full.
Optional: Sprinkle a little extra feta or a pinch of oregano on top.
Cooking Instructions:
Oven Method:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until eggs are set and tops are slightly golden.
Air Fryer Method:
Preheat air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
Air fry the egg muffins for 10–14 minutes, checking around the 10-minute mark.
They’re done when puffed up and set in the middle (no jiggle when tapped).
Let them cool a couple of minutes before removing from the cups—they’ll deflate slightly as they cool (normal!).
Storage:
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Wrap individually and reheat in the microwave or air fryer.
Serving Ideas:
Pair with avocado toast or fresh fruit for a full breakfast.
Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or tzatziki on the side.
Great cold or warm—perfect for lunchboxes too!
