Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

6 large eggs

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative, such as almond or oat milk)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced (optional)

Olive oil spray or muffin liners for easy removal

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). To prepare your muffin tin, either spray it generously with olive oil or line each cup with muffin liners to ensure easy removal after baking.

    Sauté the Spinach: In a medium skillet, over medium heat, lightly sauté the chopped spinach for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is just wilted. Once done, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

      Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack the six eggs and beat them until well combined. Add in the milk, along with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended.

        Incorporate the Ingredients: To the egg mixture, gently fold in the wilted spinach, crumbled feta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced red bell pepper (if using). Mix everything together until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the egg and spinach mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. This allows enough room for the muffins to rise during baking.

            Bake the Muffins: Carefully place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. The muffins are ready when they are set in the center and have a slightly golden top.

              Cool and Serve: After baking, let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. These muffins can be enjoyed warm for the best flavor, or cooled completely for meal prepping.

                Storage Tips: Any leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you prefer, reheat them in the microwave for a quick warm-up before serving.
