Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms diced (button, cremini, or shiitake)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Swiss, or feta
  • 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1/4 medium onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried herbs thyme, oregano, or basil
  • Cooking spray or butter for muffin tin
  • Fresh chives for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  • Prepare vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Cook mushrooms: Add diced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until they release moisture and become golden.
  • Add garlic and spinach: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add chopped spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Beat eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dried herbs until well combined.
  • Assemble egg cups: Divide the cooked vegetable mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Pour beaten egg mixture over vegetables, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  • Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each egg cup.
  • Bake: Place in preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
  • Cool and serve: Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Garnish with fresh chives and serve warm.
