Chef's Note
These egg cups can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 4 days. For the best texture when reheating, warm them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes rather than using a microwave. You can also customize with different vegetables or cheeses based on what you have on hand.

6 large eggs
2 cups baby spinach

2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.

Finely chop 2 cups of baby spinach. Clean and slice 1 cup of cremini mushrooms. Dice 1/2 red bell pepper and thinly slice 2 green onions. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to brown and release moisture.

Add the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a large bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.

Made this as an omelete instead, and it was fantastic. My toddler rarely eats all the little stuff, like mushrooms etc, but with this he ate the entire thing eagerly.
