Ingredients
  

Egg Mixture
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper-more to taste
Filling
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 small to medium onion, chopped
  • 1 small to medium red pepper, chopped
  • 2 1/2 ounces baby spinach (1/2 of a 5 ounce bag of baby spinach)
  • 4 ounces cherry tomatoes, cut in quarters and seeds removed
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
    Either lightly spray 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or line muffin tin with cupcake liners.
    Mix the egg mixture together – make sure the eggs are fully blended.
    In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter. Once melted, added the chopped onion. After the onion is softened, add the red pepper. After about 5-7 minutes, add the spinach and tomatoes. Once the spinach has reduced in size, transfer from skillet to large bowl. Let cool for a few minutes occasionally stirring to facilitate cooling.
    Once cool, add spices and feta cheese. Mix well.
    Spoon filling into 12 muffin cups - about 2/3 filled. Carefully spoon egg mixture into each muffin cup to about 2/3 filled. To minimize spilling, I use a gravy ladle to spoon the egg mixture.
    Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. The muffins will be done when the tops of the muffin are browned and a knife inserted into the muffin comes out clean. Place on wire rack.
    Either serve while still warm or cool completely then refrigerate or freeze. Warm in microwave.
