Easy ways to serve it
Serve 1–2 muffins with a side salad or toast for a quick meal. They work as a protein boost in a packed lunch, or sliced on top of grain bowls. For a heartier plate, pair them with a simple roasted fish like baked salmon with spinach and mozzarella.
How to store leftovers efficiently
Cool muffins completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer on a sheet tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat from fridge in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or from frozen for 1–2 minutes, checking until hot.
Time-saving notes
- Chop spinach and veggies the night before.
- Use pre-crumbled feta and pre-washed spinach to cut prep time.
- Grease the muffin tin with nonstick spray or use silicone liners to speed cleanup.
- While muffins bake, clean your prep bowl to save time later.
Easy ways to change it up
- Swap feta for cheddar or goat cheese.
- Add cooked turkey bacon, turkey ham, or sausage for meat.
- Fold in herbs like dill or chives for brightness.
- Make mini muffins in a mini tin for bite-sized snacks (reduce bake time slightly).
