Low Carb Greek Egg Muffin Recipe Card


Description

These Greek-Style Egg Muffins are the perfect high-protein, grab-and-go breakfast. Packed with Mediterranean flavors like salty feta, briny Kalamata olives, and fresh spinach, they are as nutritious as they are delicious.


Ingredients

Eggs: 6 large (affiliate)

1/2 cup of egg whites

Seasoning: Dried oregano (affiliate), black (affiliate) pepper (affiliate), and a pinch of salt (affiliate)

1 cup of cubed Feta Cheese

Fresh Spinach: Roughly chopped

1 15 oz can of Tomatoes: Diced and drained (canned or fresh)

1/2 cup or more Kalamata Olives: Pitted and chopped

1 TBSP Dried Oregano (affiliate)

Salt (affiliate) and pepper (affiliate) to taste


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray (affiliate) or olive oil (affiliate) to prevent the eggs from sticking.

2. Spinach: Roughly chop the fresh leaves. Make it small enough to have several in each cup. Set aside.

3. Olives & Feta: Chop the Kalamata olives and cube the feta into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside.

4. Tomatoes: Dice the tomatoes and drain the excess juice to prevent the muffins from becoming soggy. Set aside. You may need to do this again before combining with the eggs in the large (affiliate) bowl.

5. In a large (affiliate) bowl, whisk (affiliate) the eggs with your egg whites, dried oregano (affiliate), salt (affiliate), and black (affiliate) pepper (affiliate). Make sure it is completely mixed.

6. Fold the chopped spinach, the drained, diced tomatoes (you may need to drain them again), and the feta cubes into the egg mixture. Mix well. Then stir in the chopped Kalamata olives last to distribute the salty punch evenly. Pro Tip: If using canned tomatoes, squeezing them in a paper towel after dicing helps achieve that perfect "muffin" texture!

7. Using a large (affiliate) ice cream scooper, pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full. This leaves room for the eggs to rise without overflowing. This recipe makes 12 Greek Egg Muffins.

8. Place in the oven and set your timer for 25 minutes. The muffins are done when the centers are firm to the touch and the edges are lightly golden.

Notes

Enjoy: Serve warm right out of the oven! Store: These stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat: Pop them in the microwave for 30–45 seconds for a quick weekday breakfast. You can also eat them cold.
