Storage & Reheating
Store your leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh and tasty for up to four days. This makes them ideal for your Sunday meal prep routine.

Tips for Best Results
- Grease your muffin tin very well to prevent any sticking.
- Do not skip the oregano as it adds a lovely aroma.
- Chop the spinach finely so it distributes evenly in every bite.
- Use a silicone muffin tin for the easiest removal possible.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a tiny kick.
- Let them cool slightly so they firm up before you eat.
Ways to Switch It Up
- Swap the feta for goat cheese for a creamier texture.
- Use kale instead of spinach for a heartier green option.
- Add sliced olives to enhance the Mediterranean flavors even more.
- Try heavy cream instead of milk for a richer muffin.
Common Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, these are perfect for making the night before. Just reheat them quickly in the morning for a fast meal. They maintain their tender texture very well when stored properly.
How do I know when they are done?
The tops should look slightly golden and feel firm. A toothpick inserted should come out clean without wet egg. They will puff up beautifully while baking in the oven.
I hope these bright muffins make your spring mornings a little easier. Give them a try and enjoy a fresh start to your day. Happy cooking!
