Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped or ½ cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup milk (optional for fluffier muffins)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup diced bell pepper
- ¼ cup diced cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons diced onions
- ¼ cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone cups for easier cleanup.
- Prepare ingredients: Finely chop the fresh spinach and crumble the feta cheese if it is not already crumbled.
- Mix eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs well. Add the milk (if using), salt, and pepper, and mix everything thoroughly.
- Combine ingredients: Stir in the chopped spinach, feta cheese, and any chosen add-ins like bell pepper and onions into the egg mixture.
- Fill muffin cups: Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Be careful not to overfill to avoid overflow while baking.
- Bake: Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes until they are set and lightly golden. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center of a muffin.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin before removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Keywords: Be careful not to overbake the muffins, as they can become dry. Check for doneness at 20 minutes. You can experiment with the ratio of eggs to milk; more milk makes the muffins fluffier, while less gives a firmer texture. Adding herbs like oregano or basil can enhance the flavor.
