Spinach and Feta Egg Muffins or Frittata

January 26, 2020 By elviira 2 Comments

Egg muffins are handy low-carb and keto munchies. You can grab one — or as many as you need — for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. Egg muffins are also great while traveling, and you can pop them quickly in a lunchbox or snack box. Or, bake them as minim muffins for a perfect party snack.

And the best part is that you can vary them endlessly, using different ingredients – even leftovers – or seasonings. As you see, egg muffins are great for all occasions! And not only muffins: you can make a frittata in a skillet in case you are not into heating your oven.

This recipe uses the fabulous combo of spinach and feta cheese. With less than 0.5 grams net carbs per muffin, these goodies are a great fit even to the tightest keto. Grab one and enjoy!
