Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- â…“ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped, oil-packed and drained
- ¼ cup diced red onion
For Greasing
- Olive oil or nonstick spray (for greasing muffin tin)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray to ensure the egg muffins do not stick.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs and ½ cup of your preferred milk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, which helps create fluffy muffins.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, diced red onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup approximately ¾ full to allow room for expansion while baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg cups are fully set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the egg muffin cups cool for a few minutes in the tin before removing. Serve warm immediately or allow to cool completely and store for later use.
Notes
- Store leftover egg muffins in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat frozen or refrigerated muffins in the microwave for 30–45 seconds before serving.
- Feta cheese can be substituted with goat cheese for a milder flavor.
- Adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil can enhance the flavor and freshness.
