Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs Use room temperature for even cooking.
  • 1/3 cup milk Can substitute with water or cream.
  • 2 cups fresh spinach Chopped or thawed if frozen. Drain well.
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese Can replace with goat cheese or cheddar.
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion or bell pepper Optional add-in for extra flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt To taste.
  • To taste black pepper Add according to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use liners.
  2. Chop about 2 cups of fresh spinach or thaw and drain 1 cup of frozen spinach, squeezing out extra water.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and black pepper until mixed well.
  4. Mix in the spinach and feta cheese (and onion or bell pepper if using).
  5. Spoon the egg mixture into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until muffins are set and tops are lightly golden. Use a toothpick to check if it comes out clean.
  2. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a rack.
  3. Serve warm or cool completely to store.

Notes

Drain spinach well to avoid sogginess. Do not overfill muffin cups as eggs will puff up while baking. Cool fully before freezing, can last up to 2 months.
