# What you need:

# How To:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray, coating each cup thoroughly.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until completely blended and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, diced red onion, salt, pepper, and dried oregano until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
04 - Evenly pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for rising.
05 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are just set and the tops are lightly golden.
06 - Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of each egg bite to gently release and remove them.
07 - Serve warm immediately, or let cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They reheat in thirty seconds which means you have zero excuses to skip breakfast ever again.
- The feta gets these tiny crispy edges that make each bite feel like something you ordered at a cafe.
02 -
- Do not overfill the cups or you will end up with egg muffins that have fused together like little mountains and stick to each other.
- Letting them cool completely before refrigerating prevents condensation which keeps them from getting soggy on the bottom.
03 -
- Chop the spinach smaller than you think you need to because it shrinks during baking but the pieces need to spread through the whole bite not clump in one spot.
- Letting the eggs sit out for twenty minutes before whisking incorporates more air and gives you that cafe style puffiness.
