    I first was introduced to egg cups (sometimes refereed to as egg muffins) at Starbucks a few years ago and fell in love with how perfect they were. They're packed with protein, veggies and even healthy fats making them such a great option when you're on the run.

    The problem was they were almost $7 for two little egg cups. As someone who tries to avoid spending unnecessary money on food as much as possible I was determined on making my own homemade version that I could keep stocked in the fridge to power me through busy weeks.... and these easy spinach and feta egg cups are perfect!

    What are egg cups and why are they so great?

    If you've never had the pleasure of trying egg cups before they are basically mini frittatas. They have an egg base and are loaded with meat, cheese or vegetables. My favourite part about egg cups is that they are not only so easy to make but they are also SO customizable.

    The recipe below is the recipe I typically follow, however if you don't have one of the ingredients on hand don't worry! You can easily swap it out for something else. They are such a great way to use up some of the leftovers in the fridge. The only thing you really need is eggs or egg white- the rest is up to you! Feel free to play around with the spices and get creative! The possibilities are endless.

    These easy spinach and feta egg cups last for about 5 days in the fridge in a airtight container. This means that they are the perfect meal prep option to set you up for the week ahead! I wouldn't personally recommend freezing them as I think they would hold too much water but honestly they're SO good you won't even need to freeze them!

    What ingredients do I need for Easy Spinach and Feta Egg Cups?

    Like I said above, the possibilities are endless. For this specific recipe I opted for the classic combination of spinach and feta cheese however see below for some substitutions!

    Eggs- As I mention in the recipe below feel free to use whole eggs or egg whites. I've done both before with great success!

    Feta Cheese- I personally love feta cheese in absolutely anything I can put it in. However, cheddar cheese or even mozzarella both work too!

    Spinach- Fresh or frozen spinach both work. I honestly do like using frozen a little better because it's just easier than chopping up the spinach and I'm lazy. The only thing you want to make sure of if you decide to go with frozen spinach is that you drain it before to avoid watery egg cups! If you go the fresh route, just chop of the spinach as thinly as possible to avoid having big chunks in your egg cups. If you don't have spinach on hand feel free to use any vegetables you want I personally love red peppers and broccoli too!

    Spices- salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and red pepper flakes are all you need for the perfectly spiced egg cups! I also like adding a dash of paprika if I'm feeling spicy.

    That's it! These spinach and feta egg cups require very few ingredients and they're very customizable if you don't have something on hand!

    Another recommendation- This isn't a necessity by any means but I really like using muffin tin liners when I make my egg cups. You can definitely just spray a muffin tin with cooking spray or use a silicon muffin tray to help ensure the egg cups don't stick (just make sure you spray it very well!). However if you are planning on bringing these on the go with you, the muffin liners make that super easy and mess free! There are even silicon muffin liners for a great reusable option too!

    PS. I love seeing my recipes in action! If you make these easy spinach and feta egg cups don't forget to tag me on Instagram or leave a comment below!
