1. Preheat oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Prepare the egg mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
3. Assemble the cups:
Divide spinach and feta evenly among the muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
4. Bake:
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and slightly golden.
5. Serve:
Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Tips and Variations
1. Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach adds a brighter flavor and texture to the egg cups.
2. Don’t overfill: Leave a little room at the top of each muffin tin to allow for even cooking.
3. Experiment with different cheeses: Try using goat cheese, ricotta cheese, or Parmesan cheese instead of feta.
4. Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
5. Make ahead: Prepare the egg mixture and spinach mixture ahead of time and assemble the egg cups just before baking.
