What You Need for Spinach and Feta Egg Muffins
Nothing wild — just simple stuff you probably have sitting in your kitchen. Here’s the full list:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup milk (or your fave non-dairy sub)
- Salt and pepper, just a pinch of each
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (if you want it)
- 1/4 cup onions, diced (also optional, but I’m a fan)
- Cooking spray or a little olive oil to grease the muffin tin
Nothing fancy. Nothing confusing. Just good food.
How I Make My Spinach and Feta Egg Muffins (Super Simple)
Honestly, this takes barely any thinking — which is good, because my brain before 9 a.m. is basically on airplane mode.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
I usually forget this part and end up waiting around, so don’t be like me. - Grease your muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.
You don’t need much, just enough so things don’t stick. - Beat the eggs in a bowl until they look smooth.
Add the milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. - Mix in the spinach, feta, and onions.
It’ll look a little chunky — totally normal. - Pour the mix into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
If you spill, no worries… I always do. - Bake for about 20–22 minutes, until the tops look firm.
If they jiggle like Jell-O, give them a couple more minutes.
A Few Tips That Make These Even Better
- Chop the spinach small. Big pieces get weird and chewy.
- Use silicone muffin cups if you have them — nothing sticks.
- Add a sprinkle of extra feta on top before baking if you want that “wow” moment.
- Meal prep trick: These keep in the fridge for about four days. I reheat them for 20 seconds and boom, breakfast.
