Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped and drained
  • ¼ cup milk (60 ml), any kind
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (dill or parsley), optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with paper liners.
  2. Chop about 2 cups of fresh spinach roughly. Optionally sauté to soften and reduce moisture.
  3. Drain the oil slightly from sun-dried tomatoes and chop into small pieces (about ½ cup).
  4. Crack 8 large eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add ¼ cup milk, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Whisk the mixture vigorously until eggs are well combined and slightly frothy (about 1-2 minutes).
  6. Fold in the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese. Stir in fresh herbs if using.
  7. Pour the mixture evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until muffins are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to help them firm up.
  10. Serve warm or let cool completely before storing. Muffins freeze well for future use.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier muffins. Drain excess moisture from spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to avoid soggy muffins. Adjust salt based on feta saltiness. Check oven temperature for even baking. Avoid overmixing after adding spinach and cheese. Muffins freeze well and reheat nicely in toaster oven or microwave.
