Tips & Variations for Spinach Quiche Muffins
Tips for the Best Quiche Muffins
Use fresh or frozen spinach – If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
Whisk well – Make sure to whisk the eggs and milk thoroughly for a light and fluffy texture.
Grease the muffin tin – Even if using liners, a light spray of oil helps prevent sticking.
Let them cool slightly – This makes them easier to remove and allows flavors to settle.
Meal prep friendly – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Flavor Variations
Cheese Lover’s Muffins – Mix in feta, mozzarella, or gouda for an extra cheesy bite.
Meaty Option – Add cooked crumbled bacon, sausage, or diced ham for a heartier version.
Veggie Boost – Toss in diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for extra color and flavor.
Spicy Kick – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for a little heat.
Herb Infusion – Try adding fresh basil, dill, or chives for a burst of fresh flavor.
