🧺Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Cooking spray

👩‍🍳Instructions

  1. Heat the oven. Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Wilt the spinach. Sauté the spinach, onion, and garlic in a little olive oil 2 minutes until just wilted. Cool slightly.
  3. Whisk the eggs. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Fill. Divide the spinach mixture, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta among the cups. Pour the egg mixture over, filling 3/4 full.
  5. Bake. Bake 18-20 minutes until puffed and set in the centers.
  6. Store. Cool 5 minutes, then release. Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.

💡 Muffin smarts

Squeeze the sautéed spinach dry — excess water makes the muffins soggy. Distribute the fillings before pouring the eggs so every muffin gets a fair share. They puff dramatically and settle as they cool; that is normal.

❓Common questions

Can I use frozen spinach?

Yes — thaw completely and squeeze it very dry. About 1 cup frozen equals 2 cups fresh here.

How do I reheat them?

Microwave 20-30 seconds from the fridge, or 45-60 seconds from frozen.

Can I add meat?

Diced ham, crumbled sausage, or bacon all work — use about 1/2 cup cooked.

Why did they stick to the pan?

The tin needs a truly generous coat of spray (or use silicone). A thin knife around the edge releases any stubborn ones.
