📝 Ingredients
Makes: 12 egg muffins
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 18–22 minutes
Total Time: 30–32 minutes
– 8 large eggs
– ¼ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
– ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
– ¼ cup finely diced onion
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
– ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

👩‍🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Prepare the spinach

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add spinach and cook for another 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3: Whisk the eggs

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and oregano until well combined.

Step 4: Add the fillings

Stir the cooked spinach and onion into the egg mixture. Gently fold in the crumbled feta and mozzarella cheese.

Step 5: Fill the muffin cups

Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately ¾ full.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 7: Cool and serve

Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes before gently removing them from the pan. Serve warm and enjoy!
⭐ Tips for Perfect Egg Muffins
– Squeeze excess moisture from cooked spinach to prevent watery muffins.
– Don’t overfill the muffin cups because eggs puff up while baking.
– Use room-temperature eggs for a more even texture.
– Crumble feta into small pieces so every bite gets a little cheese.
– Let muffins rest before removing them to prevent breaking.
– Use a silicone muffin pan for easier removal.
