Swaps, storage and make-ahead
Swaps
- Use unsweetened almond or certified gluten-free oat milk instead of skim milk and leave out the feta, or use a plant-based feta labelled dairy-free, for a dairy-free version.
- Replace half of the whole eggs with liquid egg whites for a lighter cup.
- Swap the feta for grated cheddar or a little vegetarian Parmesan-style hard cheese if that is what you have on hand.
- Use frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, in place of fresh baby spinach for easier shopping.
Storage
Cool the egg muffins and refrigerate them in a sealed container within 2 hours, then eat within 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until steaming hot all the way through.
Make ahead
Chop the spinach, pepper, onion and tomatoes up to a day ahead and keep them covered in the fridge, or bake the whole batch ahead and refrigerate for quick breakfasts for up to 4 days.
