These quiche cups combine fluffy eggs, fresh spinach, and tangy feta for a quick and delicious breakfast or brunch option that’s naturally gluten-free and easy to customize.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped (or thawed and drained frozen spinach)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • ¼ cup finely diced onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  3. Add chopped spinach and sauté until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze out excess moisture from spinach.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk vigorously until frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Season the egg mixture with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Fold the sautéed spinach and onion mixture and crumbled feta cheese into the egg mixture. Add fresh herbs if using and mix evenly.
  7. Ladle the mixture into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes, or until quiche cups are set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  9. Let the quiche cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before gently loosening edges with a butter knife and removing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Drain spinach thoroughly to avoid soggy quiche cups. Fill muffin cups only 75% full to allow for rising. Watch baking time carefully to prevent drying out. You can prepare filling a day ahead but mix with eggs just before baking.
