Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For Preparing the Tin

  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray to ensure easy removal later.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy to help make fluffy muffins.
  3. Add the Spinach and Feta: Roughly chop fresh spinach and crumble the feta cheese. Fold both carefully into the egg mixture, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
  4. Fill the Muffin Tray: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising as they bake.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 18-22 minutes until the muffins have puffed up and set, with a slight golden top. Insert a toothpick to check; it should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin before gently removing. Serve warm right away or store for later.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and even baking.
  • If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water to prevent soggy muffins.
  • Do not overfill the muffin cups to avoid overflow and ensure proper rising.
  • Let muffins cool in the tin to prevent breaking when removing.
  • Silicone muffin cups can be used for easy removal and less greasing.
