I first whipped these up when mornings were complete chaos and I needed a good breakfast fast. Mixing up eggs with gooey cheese, spinach, and tangy sun dried tomatoes became our go-to. They look fancy but really, they're so quick. Now when these show up in the fridge everyone gets excited to start the day.
Great for Crazy Mornings
My favorite thing? They make solving breakfast so simple. Prep a batch Sunday, and boom, you've got weekday breakfasts sorted. I love the sun dried tomato punch—even when you grab-and-go, it feels a little special. Also, you can freeze a bunch for weeks when you just can't deal.
Stuff You'll Need
- Nonstick Cooking Spray: Seriously—don’t forget this, or you’ll regret it later.
- Salt and Pepper: Just a pinch pulls everything together.
- Cheese: Grab whatever melting cheese you love most.
- Sun Dried Tomatoes: I call these tiny flavor boosters—they change everything.
- Spinach: Use fresh if you can, it’s so much brighter.
- Eggs: The fresher, the better—they’re the star.
Time to Cook Up Something Awesome
- Cool and Serve
- Let them chill out for a few before turning them out of the pan.
- Bake
- Slide them in the oven and let them get golden and puffy.
- Fill the Muffin Tin
- Carefully pour your egg mix in, don’t fill all the way—they’ll rise.
- Mix the Ingredients
- Whisk eggs then toss in the good stuff: cheese, tomatoes, spinach.
- Preheat the Oven
- First off, crank that oven up and get your muffin tray greased really well.
Save Extras for Later
Stick these in the fridge and breakfast is easy all week. Freeze 'em if you want—yep, they're just as tasty later. Pop one in the toaster oven or zap it in the microwave for a fresh-out-of-the-oven feel. Meal prep has never been simpler.
Easiest Pan Cleanup Ever
Spray that muffin tin like you mean it and cleanup will be a breeze. If anything sticks, a good soak in water should help. Got stubborn mess? Sprinkle some baking soda or even salt and scrub gently. Trust me, it works.
Turn It Into a Full Feast
We usually eat these with a big bowl of mixed fruit or some warm muffins. On weekends, I throw together a quick citrus sangria. Change it up—ham and peppers give you that Denver vibe and keep things interesting every week.

For sure! Swap the spinach or tomatoes with finely chopped mushrooms, peppers, or anything else you like.
- → How can I stop the eggs from collapsing?
Don’t overstuff the muffin tins (stick to 2/3 full) and keep the oven closed while baking. Let them sit a little before serving.
