Ingredients
Scale
- For the Egg Muffins:
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil spray (for greasing the muffin tin)
- Optional Add-ins:
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup diced onion
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray or line with silicone muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese. If using additional add-ins, fold them into the egg mixture.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set in the center and slightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Allow the egg muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or let them cool completely before storing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
Notes
- These egg muffins are versatile and can be customized with your favorite veggies or protein.
- For a dairy-free version, omit the feta or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- To make them lower in fat, you can use egg whites or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites.
- They freeze well! Just let them cool completely before freezing in a single layer. Reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to eat.
