Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 1 person
Calories: 270

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach chopped
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes diced
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat 6 cups of a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Stir in the garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Divide the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and diced sun-dried tomato evenly among the 6 muffin cups.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of each cup, filling about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 16–18 minutes until the tops are set and lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before running a knife around the edges to release each cup.
  8. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

Feta is sold both in blocks and pre-crumbled — blocks are almost always cheaper per ounce, and crumbling it yourself takes seconds. Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil can be pricey, so look for the dry-packed bagged version instead, which costs less and works just as well once rehydrated slightly by the egg mixture during baking. A dozen eggs remains one of the best protein-per-dollar purchases in any grocery store.
