Combining the salty tang of feta with fresh, wilted spinach, these muffins are baked with a touch of heavy cream to ensure a light and fluffy texture. They are an excellent option for anyone following a gluten-free or vegetarian diet without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

• Vegetables: 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped; 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced (optional)
• Dairy: 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled; 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
• Eggs: 6 large eggs
• Pantry: 2 tbsp heavy cream; 1/2 tsp sea salt; 1/4 tsp black pepper; 1/4 tsp garlic powder; 1 tbsp olive oil (for greasing muffin tin)

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté spinach (and bell pepper, if using) for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.

Step 4

Fold in the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta, and cheddar cheese (if using).

Step 5

Evenly pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.

Step 7

Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm, or cool completely for meal prep.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To keep your muffins fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They can be easily reheated in the microwave or oven. For the best texture, ensure the spinach is well-wilted and slightly cooled before adding it to the egg mixture.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Feel free to customize your egg muffins by adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley. If you prefer a different cheese profile, substitute the feta with goat cheese or use a dairy-free alternative for those with lactose sensitivities.

Serviervorschläge

These muffins are best served warm, perhaps with a side of avocado or fresh berries. They also make a fantastic grab-and-go snack for mid-day protein boosts when cooled completely.
