Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

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

Fillings

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

For Muffin Tin

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the egg cups evenly.
  2. Prepare Muffin Tin: Generously oil or spray a muffin tin with cooking spray or grease with butter or oil to prevent the egg cups from sticking during baking.
  3. Add Fillings: Evenly distribute the chopped fresh spinach and crumbled feta cheese into each muffin cup, creating a flavorful base for the eggs.
  4. Whisk Eggs: In a measuring cup or bowl with a pour spout, whisk together the 6 large eggs with garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy for airy egg cups.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling each at least 3/4 of the way full to allow room for the eggs to expand as they bake.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
  7. Cool and Store: Remove the egg cups from the oven and allow them to cool before removing from the muffin tin. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months for convenient future meals.

Notes

  • You can substitute the feta cheese with goat cheese or shredded mozzarella for different flavors.
  • Use fresh or frozen spinach; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess water before adding.
  • Feel free to add other seasonings such as paprika or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • These egg cups can be reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds for a quick breakfast.
  • To freeze, place cooled egg cups in a freezer-safe container or bag and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
