Spinach and feta egg muffins are a healthy, protein-packed breakfast made by baking whisked eggs with spinach, feta cheese, and seasonings in a muffin tray. They’re like mini crustless quiches—easy to meal prep and grab on the go.
What they are
Individual baked egg cups filled with:
- Fresh or sautéed spinach
- Crumbly feta cheese
- Eggs (the base that holds everything together)
They’re light, savory, and great for breakfast, snacks, or lunchboxes.
Key ingredients
- Eggs (6–10 depending on batch size)
- Fresh spinach (chopped)
- Feta cheese (crumbled)
- Milk or cream (optional, for fluffiness)
- Salt and black pepper
- Garlic powder or onion powder (optional)
- Olive oil or butter (for greasing)
How to make them
1. Prep the spinach
- Lightly sauté spinach in a pan (optional but helps reduce moisture)
- Let it cool and squeeze out excess water if needed
2. Mix the egg base
- Whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and optional milk
- Add seasoning like garlic powder or herbs
3. Assemble
- Grease a muffin tin
- Add spinach to each cup
- Sprinkle feta on top or mix into eggs
- Pour egg mixture into each cup (about ¾ full)
4. Bake
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 15–20 minutes
- They’re done when puffed and set in the center
Flavor & texture
- Soft, fluffy eggs
- Slight saltiness from feta

Tips for best results
