Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables & Cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
Other
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the egg muffins release easily after baking.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, creating a consistent base for your muffins.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: Stir in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped onion, salt, and black pepper, evenly distributing the ingredients throughout the egg mixture.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow space for the eggs to expand as they bake.
- Bake the Muffins: Bake the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops turn a light golden color, indicating they’re perfectly cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes to firm up before removing. Serve them warm for immediate enjoyment or cool completely to store for meal prep.

- Substitute kale or your preferred vegetables for spinach to vary the flavors.
- Store muffins in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
- Freeze muffins for longer storage; reheat in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds before serving.
- Perfect for quick breakfasts or healthy snacks, these muffins are easy to customize and adapt.
