Tips & Variations

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese and use non-dairy milk.
  • Add chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer less salt, reduce or omit the added salt since feta is already salty.
  • Use dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes rehydrated in warm water if oil-packed are not available.

Storage

Store leftover egg muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave for about 30-45 seconds until warm. You can also freeze them individually wrapped and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
