Spinach Feta Sun Dried Tomato Muffin Cups (Printable)

Protein-rich Mediterranean muffins with spinach, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes for easy breakfast meal prep.

# What You Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
02 - 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and finely chopped

→ Dairy

03 - 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
04 - 1/4 cup milk

→ Eggs

05 - 8 large eggs

→ Seasonings

06 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

→ Oils

09 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone muffin liners.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano until well combined.
04 - Fold the sautéed spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta into the egg mixture. Stir gently until evenly distributed.
05 - Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
06 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
07 - Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They reheat beautifully so you can make a batch on Sunday and eat like royalty until Wednesday.
  • The combination of feta and sun dried tomatoes makes them taste far more indulgent than 97 calories per cup.
  • Even people who skip breakfast will grab one of these on their way out the door.
02 -
  • Do not skip draining the sun dried tomatoes because excess oil will pool at the bottom of each cup and create a greasy layer nobody wants.
  • Let the wilted spinach cool for at least five minutes before mixing it into the eggs or it will start cooking them on contact and create rubbery streaks.
03 -
  • Silicone muffin liners are worth the small investment because these cups release effortlessly every single time without any sticking or tearing.
  • Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots because uneven browning is the only thing that separates a good batch from a great one.
