These fluffy, savory egg muffins are loaded with protein-rich eggs, vibrant spinach, and creamy feta cheese. They’re perfect for busy mornings, lunchboxes, or healthy snacking. Make a batch in under 25 minutes and enjoy all week!
Ingredients (Makes 6–8 Muffins)
6 large eggs
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (packed cup)
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup milk (or oat/almond milk)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a slight kick)
Olive oil spray, for greasing the tin
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly spray a muffin tin with olive oil or brush with a little olive oil. Proper greasing ensures the eggs release cleanly.
2. Whisk the Egg Base
In a medium bowl, crack in all the eggs. Add milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy—this helps the muffins rise and stay fluffy.
3. Add Veggies & Cheese
Add the chopped spinach to the eggs, gently mixing it in.
Fold in the crumbled feta, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
(If you prefer pockets of cheese, add some feta directly into each muffin cup later.)
4. Fill the Muffin Tin
Pour the mixture into the greased muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
If desired, sprinkle a little more feta on top for extra flavor and a pretty golden finish.
5. Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the egg muffins are set, lightly puffed, and slightly golden on top.
They may rise in the oven but will settle as they cool—this is completely normal.
6. Cool & Serve
Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.
Enjoy warm, or let cool completely for meal prep.
