Mediterranean Egg Muffins:
It has been awhile since I have meal prepped a batch of my egg muffins. And for this weeks meal prep menu, I added these easy peasy mediterranean egg muffins. These are perfect for a grab and go breakfast option for those busy mornings.
Ingredients you will need:
- Eggs
- Sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil
- Diced onions
- Minced garlic
- Chopped cilantro
- Olive oil from the sun-dried tomatoes or any type of oil you use
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Diced red bell pepper
- Spinach
- Optional: crumbled feta cheese
- Filtered water
Sautéing the veggies:
Now this step is totally optional! But I find sautéing the veggies before adding to eggs adds so much more flavor to the egg muffins. Add ghee or any oil to a medium size pan and olive oil for about 30 seconds. Add diced onions, sun-dried tomatoes, cilantro, red bell pepper, salt + pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes. Next add in the spinach and some filtered water to allow the spinach to wilt faster (I do about 2-3 Tbsp of water).
And then let the vegetables cool completely before adding to whisked eggs in a large bowl.
Not sautéing the veggies:
And if you are skipping the step of sautéing the vegetables for time purposes. Then just add all the diced vegetables, spinach, garlic, and salt + pepper to a large bowl with your whisked eggs, and mix.
Baking egg mixture:
I like to bake mine in lined muffin tins. But you can also make it in a casserole dish (using a lined 8×8 baking dish). If making muffins, I fill my muffins about 3/4 of the way and bake 350 F for 18-20 minutes. And if making it in a casserole dish, add to a lined baking dish, and bake 350 F for 20-25 minutes, or until center is not jiggly.
How to store:
I like to store mine in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
How to reheat:
I like to throw mine in my air fryer to reheat. I will usually do on a low heat, since they are already cooked, and I don’t want to dry them out. Usually I’ll do 270 for about 10 minutes. But if you don’t have an air fryer just throw in convection oven, toaster oven, or in microwave until heated through.
