# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

03 - 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
04 - 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, sauté spinach and red bell pepper for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
04 - Fold the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta, and cheddar cheese into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
05 - Evenly distribute the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
06 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
07 - Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm, or cool completely for meal preparation.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They're genuinely ready to grab and eat in the morning, no excuses about being too busy.
  • You can make six at once and forget about breakfast decisions for nearly a week.
  • The feta brings this salty, tangy punch that makes eggs feel fancy without any extra effort.
02 -
  • Don't skip the sauté step for the spinach, because raw spinach releases water during baking and makes the eggs watery and less flavorful.
  • Your oven temperature matters more than you'd think, so if your muffins come out sunken or runny, your oven is likely running hotter than the dial suggests.
03 -
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a handful of fresh dill right before folding everything together if you want to boost the flavor without changing the recipe entirely.
  • Use a small ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups evenly and quickly, which saves time and ensures they all cook at the same rate.
