1 Ingredients

Qty Item
8 units Large eggs
2 cups Fresh baby spinach, chopped
0.75 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
0.25 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
0.25 cup Heavy cream or whole milk
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Olive oil or cooking spray

2 Instructions

1

Step 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray or olive oil to ensure the eggs don't stick.

2

Step 2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.

3

Step 3. Evenly distribute the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and sun-dried tomatoes into the bottom of each muffin cup.

4

Step 4. Carefully pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way to the top to allow space for the eggs to rise while baking.

5

Step 5. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the centers are set and no longer jiggly.

6

Step 6. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Use a thin spatula or knife to gently pop them out and serve immediately.


💡 Tips & Tricks

  • ·

    Squeeze any excess moisture out of the chopped spinach using a paper towel to avoid watery muffins.

  • ·

    For a non-stick guarantee, use a silicone muffin tray which allows you to pop the eggs out perfectly every time.

  • ·

    Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want a little heat in your morning meal.

  • ·

    Whisk the eggs very well; the more air you incorporate, the fluffier your muffins will be.
