Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free milk for a dairy-free version)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For Greasing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Eggs and Seasoning: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: Stir in the chopped fresh spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and diced onion evenly into the egg mixture.
- Pour Mixture Into Pan: Evenly pour the combined mixture into the prepared muffin cups or baking dish, filling them to an appropriate level for even cooking.
- Bake Omelets: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes if using a baking dish, or 15–20 minutes if using a muffin tin, until the omelets are set and tops turn lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the omelets to cool slightly before removing from the pan or slicing if baked in a dish. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
