Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup onion or shallots, diced
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For Preparation

  • Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray. Finely chop the fresh spinach and crumble the feta cheese. Dice the onion or shallots into small pieces to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
  2. Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk together with a splash of milk or cream until smooth and slightly frothy. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. This step ensures your muffins are fluffy, moist, and perfectly seasoned.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and diced onions into the egg mixture. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light yet well-blended. This ensures each muffin has a balanced flavor.
  4. Fill the Muffin Pan: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising without spilling over.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the muffins for 18 to 22 minutes or until set and lightly golden on top. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach and feta for the best flavor and texture.
  • Pre-cook or sauté onions if you prefer a milder onion taste.
  • Squeeze excess moisture from spinach to prevent soggy muffins.
  • Fill muffin cups only about 75% full for even cooking and well-shaped muffins.
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the tin to prevent breakage.
