# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone muffin cups.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and oregano until well combined.
04 - Fold the sautéed spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta into the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
05 - Evenly divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
06 - Bake for 18-22 minutes until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
07 - Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They reheat beautifully, which means you can make a dozen on Sunday and eat like a champion all week.
- The sun dried tomatoes bring a concentrated punch of flavor that makes these feel far more indulgent than 97 calories per cup.
02 -
- Skip the nonstick spray and use a paper towel to rub actual oil into each cup, because spray can leave a sticky residue that bakes on permanently.
- Letting the spinach cool before adding it to the eggs prevents the mixture from starting to cook prematurely and creating tough rubbery spots.
03 -
- Chop the sun dried tomatoes smaller than you think you need because large pieces sink to the bottom and create uneven cups.
- Cracking the eggs into the bowl one at a time lets you catch any shell fragments before they disappear into the batter.
