🧁 Spinach & Feta Egg Muffins Recipe
Light, savory, and packed with protein and flavor!
🧾 Ingredients (Makes 6 Muffins)
🥚 Main Ingredients:
6 large eggs
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (you can use baby spinach)
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
¼ small onion, finely chopped (optional)
1 small garlic clove, minced (optional, for extra flavor)
Salt and black pepper to taste
🌿 Optional Add-ins:
¼ cup diced bell peppers
2 tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 tbsp shredded mozzarella or cheddar (for extra cheesiness)
A pinch of chili flakes or oregano
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin liners.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables (Optional but Recommended)
In a small skillet, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat.
Add onions and garlic; sauté for 2 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Stir in chopped spinach and cook just until wilted (about 1 minute).
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Add the cooked spinach mixture and crumbled feta cheese.
Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 4: Fill and Bake
Divide the mixture evenly among the 6 muffin cups — fill each about ¾ full.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Pair with whole grain toast or avocado for a hearty breakfast.
Enjoy as a protein-rich snack or pack them in a lunchbox.
Top with hot sauce or Greek yogurt for extra flavor!
🧊 Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

💡 Tips & Variations
Replace feta with goat cheese or cottage cheese for a milder flavor.
Add cooked turkey bacon or diced chicken for a heartier version.
