These easy low-carb egg muffin cups combine creamy feta, fresh spinach, and fluffy eggs for a healthy, grab-and-go breakfast perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (or thawed and squeezed frozen spinach)
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup milk or cream (whole milk, heavy cream, or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or non-stick spray, for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin thoroughly with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. If using fresh spinach, rinse and roughly chop about 2 cups. If frozen, thaw and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  3. Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add ¼ cup (60 ml) of milk or cream. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Whisk again to combine.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped spinach and ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each greased muffin cup, filling about ¾ full to leave room for rising.
  7. Place the muffin tin on the center rack and bake for 20-25 minutes, until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the egg muffin cups cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a butter knife or silicone spatula.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier muffins. Thoroughly drain spinach to avoid watery muffins. Do not overfill muffin cups (fill about ¾ full). Grease muffin tin well to prevent sticking. Fresh herbs can be added before baking for extra flavor. Muffins store well in fridge up to 4 days and freeze up to 3 months.
