Did you know you could use a muffin tin in this way?
Would you believe me if I told you that you can have a fresh, healthy breakfast made from-scratch every morning? I know, I know: we’re all scrambling to get out the door as it is, and here I am suggesting that you take the time to cook breakfast! Well, it’s true. You might not be able to see my face right now, but I’m really wearing a very devilish look: you can have your guilt-free cake and eat it too. This skinny spinach and feta baked egg recipe makes a perfectly portion sized breakfast, and it only requires three ingredients!
Yes, my friends, you read that right. You only need three things to make this skinny spinach and feta baked egg recipe. Talk about a quick-and-easy, healthy breakfast option! They only take about 15 minutes to make (which, for me, just means skipping that extra snooze cycle on my alarm clock). If you really don’t have a spare moment in the morning, never fear. You can make this spinach and feta baked egg recipe ahead of time if you’re looking for a grab-and-go breakfast option.
How do we do it? By using a simple kitchen hack that sort of changed our lives. Did you know you could use a muffin tin in this way?
Using a Muffin Tin
If you’re only using your muffin tin to bake cupcakes and muffins, then you’re missing out. The cups in a standard muffin tin are perfectly sized for oven-frying eggs. All you need to do is load in the spinach, crack your egg on top, and sprinkle on the feta cheese. In 15 minutes, you’ll have a fully cooked white with a runny yolk.
That means that this skinny spinach and feta baked egg is portion-sized, delivering exactly 112 calories and 1 gram of carbohydrates. Low-carb, gluten-free, and ready to travel. And, I don’t know about you, but I certainly don’t have room for eating four portions of this breakfast! That means leftovers for the rest of the week. You can pop them in the microwave to heat them up, or eat them cold straight out of the fridge.
It’s a happy little package of iron-rich spinach, protein-packed eggs, and salty feta cheese. You’ll love switching up your breakfast routine and taking a break from overnight oats and smoothies. Because who doesn’t need another skinny breakfast option for busy, on-the-go mornings?

can you use egg whites eith your spinach
Yes, keep in mind you need more egg whites.
So… how did you get them out of the cups intact?
(Looks delicious! Can hardly wait to try them!)
You’ll need to spray the muffin pan well. Use a rubber spatula around the edges to help loosen if needed. You can also use paper liners if you prefer.
So easy and yummy!
That recipe was really good and tasty, I will re-do it.
Nicole, Thank you so much for the feedback.
