INGREDIENTS:
- Half cup crumbled feta cheese

INGREDIENT NOTES:
EGGS:
- They are the main component that gives structure to the muffins. Eggs become fluffy during baking and keep you full for longer.
FETA CHEESE:
- Feta cheese provides salty taste and creamy texture to the muffins. You may use reduced-fat feta as another idea.
LOW-FAT MILK:
- Milk gives a lighter egg mixture and makes fluffy muffins. Also, it blends nicely in the recipe. You may use unsweetened almond milk as an alternative.
COOKING SPRAY:
- It keeps the recipe from sticking and remove the muffins from the tray easily. You may use reusable silicone muffin liners as per your choice.
SPINACH:
- Spinach gives bright color and mild earthy taste to the recipe. It gets soft while baking and blends well with the eggs. You may use baby kale as another option.
GARLIC POWDER:
- It gives a gentle savory taste without adding extra moisture. Garlic powder mixes evenly with the egg mixture and improves the vegetables. Include onion powder if you are not using garlic powder.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, warm the oven to 350°F and coat the pan with cooking spray.
- Then in the mixing bowl, crack the eggs then include milk, garlic powder, pepper, oregano, and salt.
- Whisk the ingredients to make a smooth mixture and stir in chopped spinach, diced onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Then fill the muffin cups with the egg mixture about three-quarters full.
- Now bake the muffin cups for 22 minutes, then take them out of the oven and cool for 5 minutes.
