A muffin tin turns eggs into a grab-and-go breakfast that survives the whole week in the fridge. Spinach and feta keep every bite interesting, and there's no flour anywhere near the batter.

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or butter for the tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well.
  2. Whisk eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in spinach, feta, and bell pepper.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake 18-20 minutes until set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from the tin.

Why This Is Good for Your Gut

Eggs provide a complete, easily digested protein source that helps stabilize blood sugar through the morning, and spinach adds fiber and micronutrients without adding meaningful carbohydrate. Keeping these low-carb and portion-controlled makes them an easy way to avoid the mid-morning energy crash a carb-heavy breakfast often causes.

Bake a batch on Sunday and breakfast is handled through Thursday. Want a different spin on the same idea? Try our Spinach Mushroom Egg Muffins or Spinach and Feta Egg Bake.
