Ingredients

Scale

10 units Large Eggs
2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach
1/2 cup Feta Cheese
1/4 cup Whole Milk or Heavy Cream
2 stalks Green Onions
1/4 cup Halal Turkey Bits or Halal Beef Bits
To taste Sea Salt and Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or a halal-certified non-stick spray
  2. Crack the 10 large eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk or heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder
  3. Whisk the egg mixture vigorously until it is smooth and slightly frothy. This incorporates air for fluffier Spinach Feta Egg Muffins
  4. Stir in the chopped baby spinach, sliced green onions, and the halal turkey bits if you are using them
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups. I find using a measuring cup helps prevent messes
  6. Sprinkle the feta cheese crumbles over the top of each cup. The cheese will melt slightly into the Spinach Feta Egg Muffins as they bake
  7. Place the tin in the center of the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes
  8. The Spinach Feta Egg Muffins are done when the centers are set and the tops are slightly golden brow
  9. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. This prevents them from falling apart

Notes

Do not overbake the muffins; overcooked eggs become rubbery. Check at the 20-minute mark.

For easy removal and cleanup, use silicone muffin liners.

Chop the spinach finely to prevent soggy or uneven muffins.

Season the egg base well with salt to enhance the flavors.

If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out all excess moisture to avoid soggy muffins.

Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

For longer storage, freeze individual muffins wrapped in plastic wrap in a freezer-safe bag for up to two months.

Reheat refrigerated muffins in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or use a toaster oven for a crispier exterior.

For substitutions, kale can replace spinach (sauté first to soften).

Add more protein with halal certified ground beef or chopped halal chicken breast.

Experiment with different halal-certified cheeses like sharp cheddar or goat cheese.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or halal hot sauce for heat.

A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over finished muffins adds brightness.

Always ensure all substitutions and variations adhere to halal guidelines, avoiding non-halal additives.

To make dairy-free, omit the feta and add extra halal certified ground beef or other vegetables like bell peppers.
