Breakfast Meal Prep Made Simple: Spinach and Feta Egg Cups

kcalIngredients
6 eggs
1 cup spinach
12 tablespoons feta
1 sheet of puff pastry
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 t. salt
optional: 1/4 t. pepper
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs and 1/4 cup milk. Add in the salt (and optional pepper if you like).
- Next, unwrap your puff pastry dough and cut it into 12 equal pieces (they will be rectangle shape).
- Spray your muffin pan with cooking spray and/or line with muffin cups (see note below).
- Place one piece of puff pastry into the bottom of the muffin cup and press down to make it sit nicely on the bottom. Then add 1 T. feta, 1 T. spinach to all of the cups.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly into the 12 cups. (see note below)
- Place into a preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove and allow to cool before eating.
- These can be stored in the fridge for 5 days.
Notes
- To avoid these sticking – I always use a silicone muffin cup & generously spray with cooking spray. You will get a crispier bottom if you don’t use a muffin cup — use your preference.
- When adding in the egg mixture, you may need to use a fork to move the spinach and feta around to make sure the egg mixture doesn’t overflow and actually sinks into the cup.
