Savory Spinach Feta Egg Bites (Printer-Friendly)
Moist spinach and feta egg bites—easy to bake, freezer-friendly, ideal for breakfast or snack.
# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or ¾ cup thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry)
02 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions (optional)
→ Dairy
03 - ⅔ cup feta cheese, crumbled
04 - ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
05 - ¼ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
→ Eggs
06 - 6 large eggs
→ Seasonings
07 - ¼ teaspoon salt
08 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
09 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
10 - Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously or line with silicone muffin liners to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and fully blended.
03 - Fold in the chopped spinach, green onions if using, crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella or cheddar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir until evenly distributed.
04 - Ladle or pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
05 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the egg bites are firmly set in the center and lightly golden on top.
06 - Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each bite and gently remove. Serve warm or at room temperature.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They reheat beautifully which means you can make a batch on Sunday and eat like royalty until Wednesday.
- The feta adds a salty tang that makes these taste far more indulgent than seventy calories per bite would suggest.
02 -
- Do not skip greasing the tin because these will stick stubbornly and fall apart when you try to remove them.
- Overfilling the cups causes overflow and uneven baking so resist the urge to use all the batter if it looks too full.
03 -
- Let the egg mixture rest for five minutes before pouring so the spinach settles evenly throughout instead of floating to the top.
- The secret to perfectly puffy bites is making sure your oven is fully preheated before the tin goes in.
