How to Make Spinach & Feta Egg Muffins
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray, or use silicone muffin liners for easy removal.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (if using). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3: Add Veggies & Feta
Stir in the chopped spinach, feta cheese, and diced onion (if using). Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin
Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick should come out clean.
Step 6: Cool & Enjoy
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm, or let them cool completely for storage.
Storage Tips
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Add a Twist!
- Add meat: Stir in cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, or diced turkey ham.
- Make it spicy: Add a dash of chili flakes or a chopped jalapeño.
- Herby touch: Try fresh dill, parsley, or oregano for a flavor boost.
