Starting your day with a nutritious and delicious breakfast can set a positive tone for the entire day. Savory breakfast muffins with spinach and feta are a perfect choice, combining healthy greens with flavorful cheese in a convenient muffin form. Here’s how you can make these tasty treats using muffin tins.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped onions or herbs for extra flavor
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese. If you like, add chopped onions or herbs for extra flavor. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving and Storage Tips
Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature for a satisfying breakfast. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm in the oven.
