Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk (or non-dairy substitute)
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp baking powder
Mix-ins
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Whisk Eggs and Liquids: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until light and frothy. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Add Mix-ins: Fold in the chopped fresh spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and baking powder gently until everything is just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set. You’ll notice a delightful aroma as they cook.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes

- Feel free to add herbs like oregano or thyme for added flavor.
