Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- 3 cups packed fresh spinach
- 1 1/2 cups heirloom or cherry tomatoes
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 3 green onions
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 375°F. Generously coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or brush with olive oil so the muffins release cleanly later.
- 2Roughly chop the spinach, halve or quarter the tomatoes depending on size, thinly slice the green onions, mince the garlic, and chop the dill. Pat the tomatoes dry with a paper towel so excess juice does not water down the eggs.
- 3In a large bowl whisk the eggs, milk, oregano, salt, and black pepper until completely smooth and lightly foamy. Stir in the minced garlic and most of the dill.
- 4Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and green onions and cook just 1–2 minutes until the spinach wilts and turns bright green; cool slightly so it does not scramble the eggs.
- 5Divide the wilted spinach mixture, tomatoes, and feta evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup three-quarters full so they have room to puff.
- 6Bake 18–22 minutes until the tops are puffed, set, and lightly golden at the edges. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean with no liquid egg.
- 7Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then run a thin knife each muffin and lift out onto a rack. Sprinkle with the remaining dill while still warm.
- 8Eat two muffins per serving hot, or cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 days. Reheat 30–45 seconds in the microwave for a lightning-fast protein breakfast.
