Spinach and Feta Egg Muffins

Portable egg muffins with wilted spinach, feta, and scallions. Squeezing moisture from the spinach keeps their centers tender rather than watery.

Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180°C and grease eight cups of a muffin tin.

  2. 2

    Warm the oil in a pan, add spinach, and stir just until wilted. Cool slightly, then squeeze out excess moisture and chop.

  3. 3

    Whisk eggs, milk, pepper, and salt until evenly blended. Fold in spinach, feta, and scallions.

  4. 4

    Divide the mixture among the prepared cups, filling each about three quarters full.

  5. 5

    Bake for 17 to 20 minutes until puffed and set in the middle. Cool for 5 minutes before loosening the edges.

Cooking Tips

  • Grease the sides of each cup carefully because egg sticks as it cools.
  • The muffins deflate slightly after baking; that is normal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare spinach and feta egg muffins ahead?

Prepare components in advance where practical, but use the final cooking and resting steps for the best texture. Cool perishable ingredients promptly and store them covered in the refrigerator.

How should I adjust the seasoning?

Grease the sides of each cup carefully because egg sticks as it cools. Taste near the end and make small adjustments rather than adding a large amount at once.
