These Spinach Egg Muffins are a nutritious and delicious breakfast option packed with protein and vegetables. Made with eggs, Greek yogurt, fresh spinach, red bell pepper, and cheddar cheese, they are baked to perfection for a quick and easy meal that you can enjoy immediately or store for later.

  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 8 eggs
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano

Vegetables

  • 2 cups baby spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking, or use a silicone muffin pan to simplify removal.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs until well blended. Add Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and oregano, then stir to combine evenly.
  3. Add Vegetables and Cheese: Fold in the finely chopped baby spinach, red bell pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling almost to the top to ensure nicely shaped muffins.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg muffins are fully set and slightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove them from the pan and serve warm, or let cool completely on a wire rack to refrigerate or freeze for later use.

Notes

  • You can substitute spinach with kale or other leafy greens according to preference.
  • Use a silicone muffin pan for easier removal and less clean-up.
  • Egg muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat egg muffins in the microwave for about 30 seconds before eating.
  • For a dairy-free version, omit the cheddar cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
