Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative such as almond or oat milk)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil, for greasing the muffin pan

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Muffin Pan: Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil to prevent the muffins from sticking. Make sure to cover each cup well for easy release.

      Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

        Add Veggies and Cheese: Carefully fold in the chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese using a spatula or wooden spoon. Ensure that the vegetables and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.

          Fill the Muffin Cups: Using a measuring cup or ladle, pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow room for the muffins to rise during baking.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The egg muffins should be set and have a light golden color on top. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin; it should come out clean when fully cooked.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, use a small knife to gently loosen the edges before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins can be enjoyed warm straight out of the oven or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
