Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or mozzarella)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: 1/4 cup diced bell peppers or onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and generously grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Add milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then whisk again.
  4. Fold in chopped spinach, cheese, and any optional vegetables.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the centers are set and lightly puffed.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
  8. Serve warm or allow to cool completely for storage.

Notes

  • Sauté spinach briefly to remove excess moisture if desired.
  • Use silicone muffin pans for easier removal.
  • Egg muffins will deflate slightly as they cool.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer for meal prep.
