Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

¼ cup cherry tomatoes, diced

¼ cup bell pepper (any color), diced

¼ cup onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons milk (optional for added creaminess)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray or oil for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking.

    Prepare the Muffin Tin: Take a standard muffin tin and generously spray it with cooking spray or lightly coat it with oil to prevent the muffins from sticking. For easy removal, consider using silicone muffin cups instead.

      Mix the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack all 6 eggs and whisk them vigorously until they are completely blended. If you prefer a creamier texture in your muffins, add the milk now and continue mixing until well incorporated.

        Add Flavors: Incorporate garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the whisked eggs, stirring well to ensure the seasonings are evenly mixed throughout the egg mixture.

          Incorporate Veggies and Cheese: Gently fold in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, diced cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, and chopped onion. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed so that each muffin is packed with flavor.

            Fill the Muffin Cups: Carefully pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow space for rising during baking.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins have puffed up and turned a light golden color on top. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes. To release them, gently run a knife around the edges of each muffin and carefully lift them out. Enjoy them warm, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
