Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, washed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For Greasing

  • Olive oil or cooking spray, as needed

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or chives (optional)
  • Diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or mushrooms (optional)
  • Cooked bacon, ham, or sausage (optional)
  • Pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapenos for heat (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by washing and finely chopping fresh spinach, crumbling the feta cheese, and whisking together the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Mix Spinach and Feta into the Egg Base: Gently fold the chopped spinach and crumbled feta into the whisked eggs, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Grease the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  4. Pour the Mixture into the Muffin Cups: Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the egg mixture, giving space for them to puff up as they cook.
  5. Bake Until Set: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are fully cooked and slightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before gently removing them with a spoon or knife around the edge.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach and feta for best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overfill muffin cups to avoid spilling during baking.
  • Bake at a moderate temperature to ensure tender, evenly cooked muffins.
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly before removal to help them set.
  • Experiment with seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs for added complexity.
