Tips & Variations

  • Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for extra moisture and flavor; drain lightly before chopping.
  • Swap feta for goat cheese or shredded mozzarella for a different cheese flavor.
  • Add finely chopped onions or bell peppers for more texture and color.
  • To make these muffins dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and omit cheese or use a vegan cheese alternative.

Storage

Store the egg muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds until warmed through. They also freeze well—wrap individually and freeze for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed recommended)

Instructions

  2. Mix Eggs and Seasonings: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until light and frothy. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper and mix well to combine the flavors evenly.
  3. Add Fillings: Gently fold in the chopped fresh spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and baking powder into the egg mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set. The muffins should spring back lightly to the touch, and a pleasant aroma will fill the kitchen.

Notes

  • You can substitute the whole milk with any non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil provide a richer flavor; if using dry-packed, soak them in warm water to soften before chopping.
  • These muffins can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle some freshly chopped herbs like parsley or oregano into the mix before baking.
