These savory egg muffin cups are a perfect breakfast or brunch option, packed with fresh spinach, tangy feta cheese, and the rich flavor of sun-dried tomatoes. They’re quick to make, easy to serve, and healthy too!

Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Procedure

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese until well combined.
  3. Fill muffin tin: Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. This will allow the eggs to rise while baking.
  4. Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready!
  5. Serve: Let the egg muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm.

Cook’s Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of butter to the egg mixture before whisking.
  • If you don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, try substituting them with roasted red peppers for a slightly different flavor.
  • These egg muffins are great served with avocado, salsa, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.

Beverage Suggestions

Each of these beverages will enhance the flavors of your egg muffins while providing a well-rounded breakfast or brunch experience!

  • Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice – The citrusy freshness complements the savory flavors of the egg muffins, providing a refreshing contrast.
  • Herbal Tea – A light herbal tea such as chamomile or mint adds a subtle, calming flavor that balances the richness of the eggs and feta.
  • Iced Green Tea – The slightly grassy notes of green tea pair well with the fresh spinach, creating a harmonious and light combination.
  • Black Coffee – A smooth cup of black coffee offers a robust flavor that complements the savory egg muffins without overpowering them.
  • Café Latte – For a creamier pairing, a latte with its velvety milk complements the rich, savory ingredients like feta and sun-dried tomatoes.

Enjoy these delicious, healthy, and satisfying egg muffins—perfect for busy mornings or casual weekend brunches!
