Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1/4 cup diced bell pepper (you can use red, green, or a mix)

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for added heat)

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or a brush of olive oil to prevent the muffins from sticking.

    Whisk Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack open the eggs and whisk them until they are thoroughly blended. Incorporate the milk along with garlic powder, black pepper, salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if you're opting for some spice). Whisk again until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

      Prepare Vegetables: In a separate bowl, combine the finely chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Make sure the spinach is finely chopped for better distribution in each muffin.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the prepared vegetable and feta mixture into the egg mixture, stirring softly until all ingredients are evenly integrated without overmixing.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Using a ladle or measuring cup, carefully pour the combined egg and vegetable mixture into each cup of the greased muffin tin, filling them about 3/4 full. This allows enough space for the muffins to rise during baking.

            Bake: Place the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are firm in the center and have developed a light golden color on top.

              Cool and Remove: After baking, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. To pop the muffins out, run a knife gently around the edges of each muffin to loosen them, then carefully lift them out using a fork or your fingers.

                Serve: Relish the muffins warm, or allow them to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for storage. These delightful muffins make for a quick breakfast option, a satisfying snack, or a nutritious addition to lunch!
