how to make Easy Spinach and Mushroom Quiche Muffins

These muffins start with sautéed veggies and a simple egg mix. Follow short steps, bake in a muffin tin, and cool a little before serving. The result is a light savory muffin that holds together and tastes fresh.

Ingredients :

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped, 1 cup mushrooms, diced, 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 cup diced onions, 1/2 cup flour (optional, for added texture)

Directions :

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
In a skillet, sauté onions and mushrooms until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Stir in the sautéed vegetables and cheese. If using, mix in flour for added texture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden.
Let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
