Spinach and Cheese Egg Muffins are easy, portable bites perfect for breakfast, meal prep, or a healthy snack. Packed with fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and fresh spinach, these muffins are simple to make, nutritious, and adaptable to your preferences.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup cooked chicken or turkey, diced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Non-stick spray or silicone muffin liners

Instructions

 Preheat the Oven

  • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick spray or line with silicone muffin liners.

2. Whisk the Eggs

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), and a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth.

3. Add the Fillings

  • Mix in the cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, and diced chicken. Stir gently to combine.

4. Fill the Muffin Cups

  • Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.

5. Bake

  • Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and Serve

  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a plate or rack. Enjoy warm or store for later.

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with avocado toast, fresh fruit, or a simple side salad for a more complete meal.

Tips & Tricks

  • Don’t overfill the muffin cups—these muffins puff up as they bake.
  • For fluffier muffins, whisk the eggs thoroughly until frothy!

Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze individually wrapped muffins in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: Microwave for 20–30 seconds or warm in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 5–8 minutes.
