You can easily find everything at your regular grocery store, and I’ve even included some handy substitutions in case you’re missing something.
Here’s what you’ll need to make these amazing Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta:
- 12 large eggs: The foundation of our delicious muffins.
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped: Adds a boost of nutrients and earthy flavor.
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled: For that salty, tangy goodness.
- 1/4 cup milk: Helps create a creamy texture.

- 1 tablespoon olive oil: For sautéing the veggies.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: Enhances all the flavors.
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: Adds a touch of spice.
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional): For a little extra kick!
No worries if you don’t have fresh spinach on hand! I often use frozen spinach in my Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta. Just make sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the mixture.
Want to kick up the flavor even more? Add a sprinkle of dried oregano or basil to the **Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta** mixture. It adds a warm, aromatic note that complements the spinach and feta perfectly.
This Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta gets its amazing taste from the combination of salty feta, earthy spinach, and fragrant garlic. It’s a flavor explosion in every bite!
For busy weeknights, I like to chop the onion and garlic ahead of time and store them in the fridge. That way, I can just grab them when I’m ready to make the Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta.
To keep your feta cheese fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I also like to add a little bit of the brine from the feta container to keep it moist and flavorful.
I love adding extra garlic to my Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta for that extra kick! Don’t be afraid to adjust the amount to your liking.
This ingredient list is all about bold flavors that actually work together. Trust me, every component plays a crucial role!
This Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta secret ingredient is a tiny pinch of nutmeg. It adds warmth that you can’t quite put your finger on, but it makes all the difference!

Let’s Make Some!
Okay, fellow food lovers, let’s get our aprons on and dive into making these delicious Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta! This is where the delicious magic happens!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. This is where the magic starts happening!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. If you’re using red pepper flakes, add them now too.
- Add the cooked spinach mixture and crumbled feta cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine, making sure not to overmix.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta are set and lightly golden brown. In my kitchen, this usually takes about 22 minutes, but oven times can vary.
- Remove the Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Your Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta should smell absolutely incredible right now!
- Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
This is my favorite part of making **delicious Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta** – watch the magic happen in the oven! You’ll see them puff up and turn a beautiful golden brown.
Don’t worry if your Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta looks a little uneven when you pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin. They’ll even out as they bake.
While your **savory Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta** is doing its thing, get ready for some amazing aromas! The combination of spinach, feta, and garlic is simply irresistible.
For a fun twist, try adding some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the egg mixture. It adds a burst of sweetness and tanginess that complements the other flavors perfectly.
If you’re short on time, you can skip the sautéing step and just add the raw onion, garlic, and spinach to the egg mixture. However, I find that sautéing them first brings out their flavors and creates a more complex taste in the Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta.
To make these Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta even easier to grab and go, wrap them individually in plastic wrap or foil after they’ve cooled completely. That way, you can just pop one in your bag on your way out the door.
