  • High protein: Eggs + feta = a breakfast that keeps you full.

  • Portable: Perfect for busy mornings or on-the-go meals.
  • Low carb: Great for keto or low-carb diets.
  • Versatile: Swap ingredients based on what you have.

This recipe is also great for beginners because it requires minimal steps and simple tools. Even if you’ve never cooked before, you’ll still end up with a restaurant-style result.


Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or 1 cup diced tomato)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or use silicone liners.
  2. Sauté the spinach and tomatoes.
    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped spinach and tomatoes, cook for 2–3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Whisk the eggs and milk.
    In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Season the egg mixture.
    Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Add veggies and cheese.
    Stir in the sautéed spinach and tomatoes, then fold in the feta (and optional bell pepper or cheese).
  6. Fill the muffin tin.
    Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes.
    Bake until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick should come out clean.
  8. Cool and serve.
    Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm or store for later.
