Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped and squeezed dry
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, diced (oil-packed preferred)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried oregano or basil (optional)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray, or line with parchment or silicone cups.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dried herbs if using.
  3. Step 3: Fold in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and diced sun-dried tomatoes until evenly combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the muffins are golden and set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  6. Step 6: Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store for later use.

Tips & Variations

  • Use chopped kale or Swiss chard instead of spinach for a different leafy green flavor.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Substitute goat cheese for feta for a creamier texture.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in water can be used but drain well to avoid extra moisture.
  • For vegan variation, use a chickpea flour batter instead of eggs and use plant-based cheese.

Storage

Store the egg muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm them in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or until heated through. They also freeze well—wrap individually and thaw before reheating.

FAQs

Can I make these muffins ahead of time?

Yes, these egg muffins are great for meal prep. Make them ahead and store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of sun-dried tomatoes?

Fresh tomatoes have higher moisture content, which may make the muffins soggy. It’s best to use sun-dried tomatoes or drain fresh tomatoes thoroughly before adding to the mixture.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 10 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried oregano or basil (optional)

Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped & squeezed dry
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, diced (oil-packed preferred)

Other

  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your muffin tin by greasing with olive oil or spraying with cooking spray, or line with parchment or silicone baking cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and optional dried herbs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the chopped and squeezed-dry spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and diced sun-dried tomatoes so they are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for the muffins to rise as they bake.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and fully set. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into a muffin — it should come out clean.
  6. Cool & Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin before removing. Serve warm for breakfast or store in an airtight container for up to several days as a quick, nutritious snack or meal.

Notes

  • Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for richer flavor and moisture; if using dry-packed, rehydrate in warm water beforehand.
  • Milk choice can be dairy or any plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk.
  • These muffins can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month; reheat before serving.
  • Optional herbs like oregano or basil add a fragrant touch but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Ensure spinach is well squeezed to prevent excess moisture from making muffins soggy.
