Whether you are following a keto diet or just need a quick gluten-free morning meal, these vegetarian bites are a delicious way to start the day.


Ingredients

Scale

10 large eggs

¼ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped (or ½ cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed VERY dry)

½ small onion, finely diced

1 clove garlic, minced

¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

Non-stick cooking spray (essential!)


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray (or use silicone muffin liners for guaranteed easy removal).

2. Sauté the Veggies (Crucial Step): Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft.

3. Add the chopped fresh spinach and garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach is fully wilted and most of the liquid has evaporated. (If using frozen/thawed spinach, just stir it in with the onions to warm through). Remove from heat.

4. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano until smooth and frothy.

5. Assemble: Distribute the cooked spinach and onion mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups.

6. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the vegetables in each cup.

7. Pour the egg mixture into the cups, filling them about ¾ of the way full. (Do not overfill, as they will puff up while baking).

8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed, golden on top, and the centers are set (not jiggly).

9. Cool: Remove from the oven. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before running a butter knife around the edges to pop them out. Serve warm.

Notes

No Soggy Muffins: The secret to great egg muffins is cooking the vegetables first to remove excess moisture. If you put raw spinach directly into the eggs, the muffins will turn out watery.

Storage: These keep perfectly in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds for a quick breakfast.

Freezer Friendly: Wrap individual muffins in plastic wrap and store in a ziplock bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or microwave from frozen.

Silicone Liners: Egg protein sticks to metal pans like glue. Highly recommend using silicone baking cups or a silicone muffin pan for effortless removal.
