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.
  • Freeze: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

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.
