  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • Optional chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and whisk them until well beaten.
  3. Add the diced bell peppers, chopped onion, spinach, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper into the bowl. Mix everything together until combined.
  4. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg muffins rise and are set in the middle. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  2. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin. You can garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños for a spicy kick. Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
