  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

  • ¼ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

  • ¼ small onion, finely chopped (optional)

🌿 Optional Add-ins:

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Muffin Tin

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

  2. Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin liners.


Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables (Optional but Recommended)

  1. In a small skillet, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat.

  2. Add onions and garlic; sauté for 2 minutes until soft and fragrant.

  3. Stir in chopped spinach and cook just until wilted (about 1 minute).

  4. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.


Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

  2. Add the cooked spinach mixture and crumbled feta cheese.

  3. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.


Step 4: Fill and Bake

  1. Divide the mixture evenly among the 6 muffin cups — fill each about ¾ full.

  2. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and slightly golden on top.

  3. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing.
