The foundation of any great egg muffin lies in how well the eggs are whisked. Proper whisking is crucial to achieve that light and airy texture that makes these muffins so delightful. When whisking eggs, you want to incorporate air into the mixture. Use a fork or a whisk and beat the eggs vigorously until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the mixture is slightly frothy. This aeration will help your muffins rise beautifully in the oven, resulting in a fluffy and satisfying bite.

Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled into small pieces

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or quartered for smaller bites)

1/4 cup milk (choose between dairy or non-dairy alternatives)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is essential for even cooking.

    Prepare the Muffin Tin: Take a 12-cup muffin tin and lightly coat each cup with cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil to prevent the muffins from sticking.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack open the 6 eggs and whisk them vigorously until they are fully blended and frothy.

        Incorporate the Milk and Seasonings: Pour in the milk, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk again until the mixture is smooth and all seasonings are combined.

          Fold in the Vegetables: Carefully add the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes into the egg mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the ingredients together, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a ladle or measuring cup, fill each muffin cup with the egg mixture until they are about 3/4 full. This allows for a little expansion as they bake.

              Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. They are ready when the tops are set and lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Remove: After baking, let the muffins cool in the tin for approximately 5 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges of each muffin to loosen them before gently lifting them out.

                  Serve: These egg muffins can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Perfect for breakfast or as a nutritious snack throughout the day!
