Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 large large eggs Room temperature for a silkier texture.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped Can substitute with kale for a stronger flavor.
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese Use full-fat for indulgent comfort or low-fat for a healthier option.
  • 1/4 cup milk or dairy-free alternative For extra creaminess.
  • 1 small shallot, sautéed until translucent
  • 1 clove garlic, minced Optional for lifting the aroma.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or smoked paprika Optional for warmth.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for the pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with a little olive oil or butter.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the shallot and garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden. Add the chopped spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk until slightly frothy. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes or smoked paprika.
  4. Stir the sautéed spinach mixture and crumbled feta into the eggs. Fold gently.
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Optionally, sprinkle extra feta or herbs on top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the centers are set and lightly golden at the edges.
  2. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze individually wrapped for up to 2 months. Reheat slowly to preserve texture. For meal prep, make ahead and enjoy throughout the week.
