These baked egg cups combine creamy feta, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach for a quick, wholesome breakfast or snack that’s perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (packed in oil, drained slightly)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the muffin tin generously with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Drain any excess moisture.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk. Add salt, pepper, and dried oregano or Italian seasoning. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Distribute the spinach evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle chopped sun-dried tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese over the spinach in each cup.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the egg cups are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Use a small knife or spatula to gently loosen the edges before removing the cups from the tin.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Drain spinach thoroughly to avoid soggy cups. Fill muffin cups only 3/4 full to prevent spills. Use a toothpick test to check doneness. Silicone liners can be used for easier cleanup but still grease them lightly.
