Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta are a healthy, protein-packed Mediterranean-inspired breakfast or snack option. Made with fresh spinach, creamy feta cheese, and eggs, these muffins are easy to prepare, customizable with optional add-ins like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, onions, or bacon, and perfect for meal prepping.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 muffins

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or ½ cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup milk (optional, for fluffier muffins)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Add-ins

  • ¼ cup diced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup diced cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons diced onions
  • ¼ cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone liners for easy cleanup to ensure the muffins do not stick.
  2. Prep the Ingredients: Chop the fresh spinach finely if using fresh, or use thawed and drained frozen spinach. Crumble the feta cheese if it is not pre-crumbled.
  3. Mix the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together until well blended. Add milk if using to create a fluffier texture, and season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Stir the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and any optional add-ins such as bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, onions, or cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage into the egg mixture until evenly combined.
  5. Fill the Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow space for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and slightly golden on top, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store for meal prep.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach for best texture and flavor; if using frozen, ensure it is fully thawed and drained to prevent sogginess.
  • Milk is optional but helps make the muffins fluffier.
  • Customize with your favorite add-ins to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs.
  • These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Reheat muffins in the microwave or oven before serving for best taste.
