Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Fillings

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Other

  • Cooking spray, butter, or oil of choice for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the egg cups.
  2. Grease Muffin Tin: Generously spray or grease a muffin tin with cooking spray, butter, or your preferred oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Add Spinach and Feta: Evenly distribute the chopped fresh spinach and crumbled feta cheese into each muffin cup.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a measuring cup with a pour spout, whisk together the 6 large eggs along with garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them at least three-quarters full to allow room for the eggs to expand during baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the egg cups in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
  7. Cool and Store: Remove from oven and allow the egg cups to cool. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute feta with other cheeses like goat cheese or cheddar if preferred.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, ensure the cheese used is suitable for vegetarian diets.
  • For added flavor, try adding chopped herbs such as parsley, dill, or chives to the egg mixture.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean when the egg cups are fully cooked.
  • These egg cups can be reheated in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds before serving.
