Ingredients Needed
For the Egg Base
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Vegetables & Flavor Boosters
- ¾ cup fresh spinach, finely chopped (baby or regular spinach works)
- ½ cup red bell pepper, diced small
- 8 cherry tomatoes, quartered (adds bursts of sweetness)
- ½ cup shallots, thinly sliced for mild onion flavor
Cheese & Finish
- 70 g / 2.5 oz feta cheese, crumbled (about ½ cup)
- Light oil spray, for greasing the muffin tin
How to Make Frittata Egg Muffins
- Preheat the Oven
Heat your oven to 180°C / 350°F. Grease a standard 6-hole muffin tin generously with oil spray to prevent sticking. - Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy. Whisking well incorporates air, giving your muffins a fluffier texture. - Add Vegetables and Cheese
Fold in the spinach, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, shallots, and crumbled feta. Make sure everything is evenly distributed so each muffin gets a balanced bite.
- Fill the Muffin Tin
Divide the mixture evenly between the 6 muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full. This leaves room for the eggs to puff up while baking. - Bake Until Golden
Place the tin in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the centers spring back when gently pressed. Avoid overbaking, as it can make the muffins rubbery.
- Serve or Store
Serve warm straight from the oven, or let them cool before transferring to an airtight container. These muffins keep well for later meals (see storage tips below).
Serving and Storage Tips
- Serving Ideas: Pair with fresh fruit, avocado slices, or toast for a complete breakfast. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread.
- Refrigeration: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. Keeps for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Microwave for 30–45 seconds (or 2 minutes if frozen). For best texture, reheat gently to avoid drying out.
Helpful Notes
- Make-Ahead Friendly: Perfect for meal prep—cook once and enjoy all week.
- Veggie Swaps: Try zucchini, mushrooms, or broccoli for variety.
- Cheese Options: Swap feta with cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese.
- Dietary Adaptations: Skip the cheese for dairy-free, or add extra veggies for a lower-fat option.
- Texture Tip: Don’t overfill the muffin tins—this helps them cook evenly and prevents overflow.
