Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for fluffier texture)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing
  • Garlic powder or onion powder (optional), to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray. Roughly chop fresh spinach and crumble the feta cheese if necessary to prepare for mixing.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: Crack 6 to 8 eggs into a large bowl and whisk thoroughly. Add a splash of milk if desired for extra fluffiness. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic or onion powder until smooth.
  3. Combine All Ingredients: Gently fold chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution without overmixing to preserve feta texture.
  4. Fill the Muffin Tin: Evenly pour the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow space for rising without overflow.
  5. Bake Until Set: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until the muffins are golden on top and firm. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother blend.
  • Drain excess moisture from spinach by sautéing or squeezing to prevent sogginess.
  • Consider using silicone muffin liners or a non-stick pan for easier removal.
  • Use an ice cream scoop for evenly portioning the mixture.
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the pan to avoid crumbling.
