Equipment
- 12-cup muffin tin
- Nonstick spray
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Baby spinach Lightly packed and chopped
- 3/4 Cup Finely diced red bell pepper About 1 small pepper
- 3/4 Cup Finely diced green bell pepper About 1 small pepper
- 3/4 Cup Quartered cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes About 1 cup whole tomatoes
- 6 Large eggs
- 4 Large egg whites
- 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp Dried basil
- 1/4 tsp Dried oregano
- 1/4 Cup Crumbled feta cheese Additional to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- Divide the spinach, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and tomatoes among the cups (they will be about two-thirds of the way full).
- In a large bowl or large measuring cup with a spout (my favorite because it makes the mixture easy to pour), briskly whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, basil, oregano, and pepper until well combined.
- Carefully fill each muffin cup three-quarters of the way to the top with the egg mixture.
- Sprinkle the feta evenly over the tops of the cups.
- Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until the egg muffins are set. Let cool for a few minutes, and then run a butter knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen it.
- Remove them from the pan and enjoy immediately, or let cool on a wire rack and refrigerate or freeze for later.
