How to make Easy Egg Muffins
Creating these egg muffins is simple and straightforward. First, you’ll want to gather all your ingredients. Then, it’s as easy as whisking the eggs and assembling them in a muffin tin with your chosen fillings.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create these delightful muffins:
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup whole, frozen spinach (thawed and moisture squeezed out)
- 10 whole eggs (6 eggs plus 4 egg whites)
- 0.25 cup Plain Nonfat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Feel free to substitute the spinach with other veggies like bell peppers or tomatoes if you prefer a different flavor profile.
Directions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Then, spray each cup of a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add a heaping tablespoon of thawed spinach to the bottom of each muffin cup.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, yogurt, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Evenly divide the egg mixture among the 12 muffin cups, ensuring each one gets a fair share.
- Top each egg muffin with approximately 1 teaspoon of parmesan cheese.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are slightly firm to touch.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan.
You can store these muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for up to three months.
