I love how easy these egg muffins are to prepare, especially when I need something ready in advance. They are customizable, portable, and great for busy mornings. The combination of spinach and feta gives them a fresh and slightly tangy flavor, while the optional add-ins make them even more satisfying.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
6 large eggs 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped or ½ cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained) ½ cup crumbled feta cheese ¼ cup milk (optional for fluffier muffins) ¼ teaspoon salt ⅛ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup diced bell peppers ¼ cup diced cherry tomatoes 2 tablespoons diced onions ¼ cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage
Directions
I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a muffin tin or lining it with silicone liners.
Next, I prepare the ingredients by chopping the spinach and crumbling the feta cheese if needed.
In a large bowl, I whisk the eggs, then add the milk, salt, and pepper, mixing everything until well combined.
I stir in the spinach, feta, and any additional ingredients like bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, or cooked bacon or sausage.
I pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
I bake them for 20 to 25 minutes until the muffins are set and slightly golden on top.
Finally, I let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin and serving.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 6 servings and takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for a quick and healthy option.
Variations
I like switching up the ingredients depending on what I have available. Sometimes I use mushrooms, zucchini, or different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella. For a vegetarian version, I skip the meat and add more vegetables. I also enjoy adding herbs like basil or oregano for extra flavor.
storage/reheating
I store the egg muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, I warm them in the microwave for a few seconds or in the oven at a low temperature. I also freeze them for longer storage and reheat when needed.
