    Breakfast egg muffins with spinach and cheese are the ultimate grab and go busy weekday meals. Made with just five ingredients in under 30 minutes!

    6 egg muffins in a muffin tin

    Today I bring you an easy breakfast egg muffin with spinach and cheese recipe that is super delicious and low carb! Loaded with fresh spinach and cheese but of course, you can adjust this recipe to your liking.

    Believe it or not, these breakfast egg muffins go wonderfully with some Cheese Garlic Biscuits. You may also turn this into a Homemade Mcgriddle Sandwich. You may add so many different vegetables, cheeses, and meats to this recipe.

    However, my absolute favorite is a breakfast egg muffin with spinach and cheese. I prefer adding more spinach than cheese but you may do the opposite if you’re feeling naughty.

    These egg muffins are naturally low carb and keto-friendly, so I make these often. Make these ahead of time, refrigerate them and warm them up in the microwave or toaster oven.

    Ingredients You’ll Need: 

     

    • Eggs

    • Whole Milk

    • Fresh Spinach

    • Cheese

    • Salt

     

    How to Make Breakfast Egg Muffins with Spinach and Cheese: 

     

    These delicious little egg bites are super easy to make, here’s all you have to do:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    2. Grease your muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
    3. In a large skillet with some oil, cook the spinach for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Season to taste.
    4. Combine the eggs, milk, and salt.
    5. Add about 1 tbsp of spinach to each muffin cup. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling them a little over halfway full. You should end up with 6-7 muffins.
    6. Top them off with cheese and bake for 20 minutes.

    I like to add about 1 tbsp of fresh cooked spinach to each muffin but feel free to add more or less. Not a fan of spinach? Add some kale!
