Quick Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (you can also use frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup diced onion (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Cooking spray or muffin liners
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you’re using a muffin tin, you can grease it with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, crack the 6 large eggs. Add the 1/4 cup of milk and the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. You can also add a pinch of salt if desired. Whisk everything together until well combined.
- Add Vegetables and Feta: Stir in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and any optional ingredients like diced onion or bell pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This allows room for the muffins to rise.
- Bake: Place the
muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
Once done, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes. Use a knife to gently loosen the edges, then remove them from the tin.
- Enjoy: These egg muffins can be enjoyed warm or stored in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast throughout the week. They can be reheated in the microwave as needed.
