Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs preferably room temperature
  • 1/4 cup milk dairy or dairy-free alternative
  • 1/2 cup cooked spinach chopped and drained
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded, optional
  • 2 tbsp herbs chopped parsley or chives
  • to taste salt and pepper season generously

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Silicone spatula or spoon
  • Oven
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease your muffin tin or line it with silicone liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy—that's your base for fluffy muffins.
  3. Add the milk, a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk again until everything is well blended.
  4. Gently fold in your chopped cooked spinach, shredded cheese, and herbs with a spatula, ensuring even distribution without deflating the eggs.
  5. Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full—don't overfill to prevent overflow during baking.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. You'll notice the muffins turn a light golden color and feel firm when gently pressed.
  7. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them rest in the tin for about 5 minutes—the residual heat helps them set perfectly.
  8. Use a thin spatula or butter knife to gently loosen the edges of each muffin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly or serve immediately.
  9. Enjoy your fluffy, customizable egg muffins warm or at room temperature—they reheat beautifully in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
