Description

Mini quiche-style muffins packed with spinach and cheese, ideal for a protein-rich, portable snack or breakfast. Easy to make, versatile, and satisfying.


Ingredients

4 large eggs

½ cup milk or cream

23 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or your choice)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: diced bell peppers


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and grease a standard muffin tin.
  2. If using fresh spinach, sauté until wilted and drain. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze dry.
  3. Whisk together eggs, milk or cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  4. Fold in spinach, cheese, and optional diced bell peppers.
  5. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

  • Add bacon, ham, or sausage for a meaty version.
  • Swap spinach with kale or chard for variety.
