Ingredients

Egg base

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Vegetables

  • 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
  • 3/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta

For the pan

  • Cooking spray

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray, or use silicone liners.
  2. Divide the spinach, bell pepper, tomatoes and onion evenly among the 12 cups. Sprinkle the feta on top.
  3. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and oregano in a large measuring cup with a spout until no streaks of white remain.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the centers are set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  6. Cool 5 minutes in the tin, then run a thin knife around each cup and lift them out.
Tip: Cool them completely before storing. Packed warm, they steam and turn soggy. They keep 4 days in the fridge; reheat 30 to 45 seconds in the microwave.
Dad jokeI asked the egg muffins if they were ready for the week. They said they were all set.
