⏱️ Recipe Details
- Yields: 6–12 muffins (depending on tin size)
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cook time: 20–25 minutes
- Difficulty: Effortless
🛒 The Ingredients
- 6-8 Large Eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled into small chunks
- 1/4 cup Milk (optional, for fluffier muffins)
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- Sea Salt & Freshly Cracked Black Pepper to taste
- Optional: A dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for heat
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Tin
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil to ensure the eggs don’t stick to the sides.
2. Distribute the Fillings
Place a generous amount of chopped fresh spinach and several crumbles of feta cheese into each muffin cup. Filling them about 2/3 of the way with solids ensures every bite is packed with flavor.
3. Mix and Pour the Eggs
In a large bowl or measuring pitcher, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup until the liquid just covers the spinach and cheese. Leave about 1/4 inch of space at the top, as they will rise while baking.
4. Bake to Perfection
Place the tin in the center rack of the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. The muffins are ready when the centers are set and the tops have turned a light golden brown.
5. Cool and Serve
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently lifting them out. This resting period helps them firm up and maintain their shape.
