Ingredients

Ingredients of Spinach & Feta Egg Muffins for 6 servings (12 muffins) includes

8 large eggs
¼ cup milk
2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped (or 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry)
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Cooking spray

Instructions

Step 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray.

Important tip: Don’t skip greasing properly. Eggs tend to stick, and under-greasing can cause the muffins to break when removing.

Step 2 Whisk the eggs. Crack all 8 eggs into a large mixing bowl or a measuring jug with a spout (this makes pouring easier later).

Then Add:

Milk
Garlic powder
Oregano
Salt and pepper

Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform, with no visible streaks of egg whites.

This step ensures your muffins come out soft and evenly textured.

Step 3 Add the spinach and feta. Stir in the chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese.

If using frozen spinach:
Make sure you squeeze out all excess water using your hands or a towel. Too much moisture will make the muffins soggy and prevent them from setting properly.

Step 4 Fill the muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full. Leave some room because they puff up slightly in the oven.

Step 5 Bake. Place in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes. They’re done when the centers are fully set, not jiggly at all when you gently shake the pan. The tops should be just barely starting to turn golden.

Step 6 Cool and remove. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before running a butter knife around the edge of each one to release them cleanly.
