🧰 Equipment Needed

• Muffin tin (12-cup or 6-cup)
• Nonstick spray or silicone liners
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Oven or air fryer

🛒 Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• ¼ cup milk (any type)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Filling:

• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• ¼ cup diced red bell pepper (optional)
• 2 tablespoons diced onions (optional)

For Topping (optional):

• A sprinkle of feta or shredded mozzarella
• Fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or chives)

👩‍🍳 Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray your muffin tin generously with nonstick spray or use silicone liners.

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 3: Add the Fillings

Stir in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and any additional veggies like bell pepper or onions. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 4: Fill the Muffin Cups

Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are puffed and lightly golden.
Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.

💡 Pro Tip: They’ll deflate slightly as they cool — that’s perfectly normal!
