Ingredients
  

Fluffy Egg Custard Base
  • 10 large fresh eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup whole milk (or heavy cream)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried Greek oregano
Mediterranean Fillings
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 3/4 cup authentic Greek feta cheese, crumbled into chunks
  • 3 stalks green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 spray olive oil spray for greasing muffin tin

Method
 

Prep & Sauté
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously coat a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray or line with silicone baking cups.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced red bell pepper for 2 minutes, then add baby spinach and cook 1 minute until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
Whisk, Fill & Bake
  1. In a large batter pitcher, whisk eggs, whole milk, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano until aerated and smooth.
  2. Divide the sautéed spinach, bell peppers, sliced scallions, and crumbled feta evenly among the 12 muffin cavities.
  3. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18-20 minutes until puffed, golden, and centers are set. Rest 5 minutes in tin, unmold, and serve warm.
