These easy make-ahead spinach and feta egg muffins are a quick, savory breakfast option that can be prepared in advance and enjoyed warm or cold. They are light, fluffy, and packed with fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or nonstick spray for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin well with olive oil or nonstick spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, crack 6 large eggs and whisk vigorously until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add 1/4 cup milk to the eggs and whisk until smooth.
  5. Season the egg mixture with 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Whisk gently to combine.
  6. Fold in 2 cups chopped fresh spinach and 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese gently using a spatula or spoon to keep the eggs airy.
  7. If desired, fold in optional add-ins such as diced bell peppers, fresh herbs, or cooked bacon.
  8. Divide the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges if needed and gently lift the muffins out.
  11. Serve warm immediately or allow to cool completely before storing for make-ahead breakfasts.

Notes

Do not overmix the eggs to keep muffins fluffy. Pat spinach dry to avoid soggy muffins. Muffins can be stored in the fridge up to 4 days or frozen up to 2 months. Reheat in microwave or toaster oven. Optional add-ins include diced bell peppers, herbs, or cooked bacon for variety.
