Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Mix-ins
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), chopped and drained
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley (optional)
For Greasing
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the eggs and seasonings: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add in vegetables and cheese: Fold in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh herbs if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
- Fill the muffin cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Bake the egg muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the egg muffins are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- These egg muffins are ideal for meal prep and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the muffins in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 2 months.
- Reheat individual muffins in the microwave for about 30 seconds for a quick, protein-packed breakfast or snack.
- Feel free to swap fresh basil or parsley with other herbs like thyme or chives according to your taste preferences.
