Spinach & Feta Egg Cups

Sharon Reid

Process

  • 8 Cups
  • 30 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 Large Eggs
  • 10-12 oz bag frozen spinach, thawed one bag
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp onion powder
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a muffin
    tin with some oil.
  • Lay out a piece of cheesecloth in a square. Place the spinach in the center and then
    gather the cloth to create a pouch. Gently squeeze to release the spinach moisture.
  • If you don’t have a cheesecloth use thick paper towels as an alternative. Just simply place the spinach between two paper towels
    and gently press to absorb the water.
  • In a large bowl beat the eggs until frothy.
  • Next, place the squeezed spinach, feta cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to the bowl with beaten eggs. Fold until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Add the mixture halfway up into each tin of
    a greased muffin tin.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until eggs is fully set.
  • You can store the egg cups in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, and in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips

  • Spinach: We used frozen, but you can also use fresh spinach chopped into small pieces.
  • Feta cheese: If you buy your feta in a block, make sure to crumble it into small chunks before cooking. This will help it distribute evenly in the eggs.
  • Avocado oil: Substitute with olive oil, peanut oil, grapeseed oil, or canola oil.
  • Don’t forget to grease the muffin tin, or the egg cups will stick to the pan.
  • If you substitute with other veggies, make sure to chop them into small pieces for the best texture.
  • Storage: Egg cups or egg muffins last for up to 5 days in the fridge when stored in a sealed container.
  • Freezing: Let them cool completely, then freeze in a sealed container or zipper bag for up to 3 months. You can reheat them from frozen in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until warm.
