Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined.
  3. Add the milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the eggs, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Fold in the chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese, stirring gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow for expansion while baking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and lightly golden around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before carefully removing the cups from the tin. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Helpful Tips

  • If you’re new to baking, use a silicone muffin tray to make releasing the egg cups easier.
  • For added veggies, consider mixing in diced bell peppers or cherry tomatoes.
  • Replace spinach with kale for a different green option.
  • Feel free to switch feta cheese with shredded cheddar or mozzarella for a milder flavor.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover egg cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, microwave the egg cups for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until warmed through.

Pairings

These Spinach & Feta Egg Cups pair wonderfully with a side of mixed fruit salad, crispy hash browns, or a slice of whole-grain toast. For drinks, a cup of herbal tea, freshly squeezed orange juice, or a creamy latte complements the flavors beautifully.
