Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup chopped spinach (baby or normal spinach, or similar leafy greens)
  • 1/2 cup diced red capsicum / bell pepper
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 cup shallots, finely sliced
  • 70 grams / 2.5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
  • Oil spray, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) to prepare for baking the muffins.
  2. Grease Muffin Tin: Spray six standard non-stick muffin holes with oil spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Add Vegetables and Cheese: Stir the chopped spinach, diced capsicum, quartered cherry tomatoes, sliced shallots, and crumbled feta into the whisked eggs, mixing until evenly distributed.
  5. Fill Muffin Holes: Divide the egg and vegetable mixture evenly between the six prepared muffin holes in the tin.
  6. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and the centers spring back when gently touched.
  7. Serve or Store: Enjoy the muffins immediately warm, or allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or freezing for up to 3 months. Defrost before serving by microwaving for 2 minutes or overnight in the fridge.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute spinach with other leafy greens like kale or Swiss chard.
  • Use any cheese you prefer such as cheddar or goat cheese instead of feta for a different flavor profile.
  • Make sure to finely dice and slice vegetables to ensure even cooking in the muffins.
  • Use a toothpick to test doneness: it should come out clean when the muffins are fully baked.
  • These muffins are great for meal prep and can be served cold or reheated quickly in the microwave.
