- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Vegetables
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons diced onion
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Ingredients: Finely chop the fresh spinach and crumble the feta cheese if it is not already crumbled.
- Mix Eggs and Seasonings: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until the mixture is smooth and completely combined.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: Stir in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and any optional vegetables of your choice such as diced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and onions.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them. Serve warm or store for later use.
