Pro Tips

• Chop the spinach into small pieces so it fits into the cups easily.
• Make sure the feta cheese is crumbled into small pieces so it distributes through the eggs well.

• Feel free to replace the feta cheese with goat cheese or shredded cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, or mozzarella.
• These egg cups are a great recipe to use up leftover cooked vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, green onions, broccoli, and more.
• You will know the egg cups are baked when they are completely set and no longer wet on top.

What to Serve with Spinach Feta Egg Cups?

Can I Replace the Spinach with Other Vegetables?
