Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3/4 cup egg whites
- 4 whole eggs
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Additional Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin generously with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- Combine Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and whole eggs until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
- Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Stir in the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow for rising during baking.
- Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of each filled muffin cup for a tangy flavor and creamy texture.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are fully set and slightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- Enjoy: These egg muffin cups make a versatile breakfast or snack that’s easy to grab and packed with Mediterranean flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh spinach for the best texture, but frozen spinach (thawed and drained) works as well.
- Feel free to substitute feta cheese with goat cheese or mozzarella for variety.
- These muffin cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
- Add chopped olives or roasted red peppers for an extra Mediterranean twist.
- Make sure to not overfill muffin cups to avoid spilling during baking.
