5 Ingredient Spinach Feta Egg Muffins – High Protein!
If you’re looking for an easy and delicious way to up your protein and vegetables at breakfast, these spinach feta egg muffins will hit the spot! Made with 5 easy-to-find-to-find ingredients. Each egg bite gives you 5 grams of protein. I like to pair 3 with fresh fruit or avocado toast for a simple, nourishing breakfast!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 8 eggs
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 red bell pepper, diced small
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin pan with 12 paper or silicone muffin liners. To prevent sticking, you can also brush a little olive oil on the muffin cups or use cooking spray.
- Heat a large skillet to medium-low heat and add the olive oil. Roughly chop the spinach leaves, and then add the chopped spinach to the hot skillet with a pinch of sea salt. Saute until wilted and set aside.
- In a large bowl add the eggs, salt, and pepper together and whisk to combine. Mix in the spinach and ¾ of the crumbled feta cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tray. Sprinkle the diced red pepper and the remaining feta between the egg muffins.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 16-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the edges begin to look golden brown. Allow cooling for 5-10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy hot, at room temperature, or chilled!
