Spinach Feta Sun Dried Tomato Muffins (Printable)
Protein-rich Mediterranean egg muffins with spinach, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes perfect for breakfast or meal prep.
# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
02 - 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
→ Dairy
03 - 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
04 - 1/4 cup milk
→ Eggs
05 - 8 large eggs
→ Seasonings
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
→ Oils
09 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone muffin liners.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano until well combined.
04 - Fold the sautéed spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta into the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
05 - Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
06 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
07 - Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- These muffin cups reheat beautifully, making them the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast that actually tastes good cold from the fridge.
- The combination of salty feta and tangy sun-dried tomatoes means every single bite packs way more flavor than basic scrambled eggs ever could.
02 -
- Do not skip draining the sun-dried tomatoes thoroughly because excess oil will pool at the bottom of each cup and create a greasy layer.
- Letting the spinach cool before adding it to the eggs prevents partial cooking and weird rubbery textures in the finished cups.
03 -
- Chop the sun-dried tomatoes smaller than you think necessary because large pieces sink to the bottom and make the cups unstable.
- A tiny pinch of nutmeg in the egg mixture sounds strange but it amplifies the spinach flavor in a way that makes people ask what your secret is.
