Spinach and Feta Egg Muffins Recipe
Ingredients (Makes 12 muffins)
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (whole, skim, or almond milk)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry)
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup diced onion (optional)
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced (optional, for color and sweetness)
- 1 tsp olive oil (if sautéing vegetables)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- ½ tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
Instructions
1. Prep Oven & Pan
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or silicone liners.
2. Cook Veggies (Optional for better flavor)
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté onions and peppers for 3–4 minutes until softened.

- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
4. Assemble Muffins
- Divide the veggie mixture evenly into muffin cups.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
- Pour egg mixture over, filling each cup about ¾ full.
5. Bake
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the muffins are set and slightly golden on top.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
6. Serve
- Serve warm as is, or pair with toast, avocado, or a side salad.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Tips & Variations
- Cheese Swap: Use cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese instead of feta.
- Meat Lovers: Add cooked bacon, sausage, or ham bits.
- Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of chili flakes or jalapeños.
- Meal Prep Hack: Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.
