Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Vegetables:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Prepare the cooking workspace by heating the oven to 375F (190C) and lightly coating a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Craft a smooth egg base by thoroughly whisking eggs with milk, incorporating salt, pepper, and oregano until the mixture reaches a uniform consistency.
- Create a flavorful foundation by distributing chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese evenly across the muffin cups, ensuring balanced ingredient placement.
- Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture into each cup, filling them approximately three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until the eggs set completely and develop a delicate golden-brown surface.
- Let the muffins rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven, allowing them to stabilize and cool slightly before gently extracting from the tin.
- Serve immediately while warm or refrigerate for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast option that maintains excellent flavor and texture.
Notes
- Customize these egg muffins easily by swapping ingredients to match dietary preferences like vegetarian, keto, or gluten-free options.
- Use silicone muffin cups for effortless removal and minimal cleanup after baking.
- Add protein variety by incorporating cooked bacon bits, ham, or smoked salmon for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Prep these muffins ahead of time and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator, making them perfect for meal prep.
