Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced (optional)
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for greasing muffin tin)

Instructions

Step 1: Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray to ensure easy removal.

Step 2: Sauté Vegetables

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped spinach (and bell pepper, if using) for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3: Whisk Eggs

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

Fold the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.

Step 5: Portion

Evenly pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are set in the center and lightly golden on the tops.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin before removing. Serve them warm, or allow them to cool completely for storage.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To prevent the muffins from sticking, ensure you grease the muffin tin thoroughly or use high-quality silicone liners. If your spinach releases a lot of moisture during sautéing, pat it dry with a paper towel before adding it to the eggs to prevent soggy muffins.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For an extra burst of freshness, fold in chopped herbs like dill or parsley. If you prefer a different cheese profile, substitute the feta with goat cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative if you are lactose intolerant.

Serviervorschläge

These egg muffins are best served warm, perhaps with a side of sliced avocado for healthy fats. For meal prep, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat quickly in the microwave or oven when ready to eat.
