Description
Let me introduce you to my life-saving breakfast hack: Spinach Egg Muffins! I came up with these bad boys during one particularly chaotic week when I was racing out the door every morning without time to eat. They’re basically mini crustless quiches that you can grab and go. I pack mine with spinach because I’m trying to sneak more greens into my diet (and honestly, it makes me feel less guilty about the cheese I add). These little protein bombs keep me full until lunch and stop me from spending ridiculous money on sad breakfast sandwiches from the coffee shop. Make a batch on Sunday, and you’ve got breakfast sorted for the entire week!
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 large eggs (get the good ones if you can, but whatever’s in your fridge works)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (or a 10 oz package frozen spinach, thawed and SQUEEZED DRY – seriously, get ALL that water out)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (I like sharp cheddar, but any melty cheese works)
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color, though red looks prettiest)
- 1/4 cup diced onion (or a couple tablespoons of green onions if regular onions make you cry)
- Optional but awesome: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (for that extra flavor punch)
- 1/4 cup milk (whatever type you have, even almond milk works)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic if you’re feeling ambitious)
- Salt and pepper to taste (don’t skimp here)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, but adds a nice kick)
- Cooking spray or a bit of butter for the muffin tin (BE GENEROUS – egg stick is the worst)
