How to Make Spinach Egg Muffins
Step 1: Spray the muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Step 2: Blend up the spinach, eggs, milk, and salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Step 3: Add in your ham, and add shredded cheese on top. You will then toss these muffin tin eggs in the oven and bake.
Step 5: Enjoy!
Storage
Refrigerate – You can refrigerate your egg cups in the fridge for 3-4 days. Just reheat in the microwave as you enjoy eating them.
Freezing – You can also freeze your egg cups. Just place in a freezer container and freeze the egg cups for 3-4 months. Then just reheat from frozen in the microwave!
Variations
- Change up the meat used. You can do bacon, sausage, or leave the meat out. Just make sure the meat is fully cooked.
- Skip the spinach if you don’t care for spinach.
- Add in some small pieces of diced peppers, onions, mushrooms or other vegetables.
- Change up the variety of cheese used if you would like to alter the flavor.
- Do just egg whites if you don’t want to use whole eggs.
- Consider toppings to add on once the muffins are done. Fresh cilantro would be awesome as would some homemade salsa, too. You can also add on some sour cream or even some more shredded cheese right on top.
Expert Tips
- You can use a whisk instead of a food processor or blender. The spinach leaves will just be larger in size.
- Use a thicker slice of ham and skip out on the deli meat. While deli meat tastes great, it’s too thin for this recipe. It’ll get lost in the mixture easily and won’t stand out at all.
- Bake until the eggs are set, then remove and allow the eggs to cool. Once they cool a bit, use a fork to carefully remove them from the muffin tin.
- If you freeze these spinach muffins, I always place them in single bags and then a larger freezer bag for single-serve storage.
