Ingredients
  • 6 Eggs
  • 5 oz Fresh Spinach
  • 4 oz Feta Cheese
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Prepare the Spinach

First, wash the spinach thoroughly. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess water from the spinach.

Mix the Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until evenly distributed.

Fill the Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone muffin liners. Spoon the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Bake the Muffins

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Cool and Serve

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
