The Mediterranean Magic in Every Bite

What sets these egg muffins apart is the combination of vibrant Mediterranean ingredients. Briny olives, sweet peppers, and tangy feta cheese mix together with eggs for an irresistibly savory morsel. The vegetables add a burst of freshness while delivering a nutritional punch—a perfect way to sneak in greens for picky eaters!

Effortless Veggie Prep for Maximum Flavor

Prepping your veggies is fast and seamless with the help of the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. It dices peppers, onions, and tomatoes uniformly, ensuring every muffin has an even distribution of flavor in every bite.

For added convenience, chop veggies ahead of time and store them in airtight Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers in the fridge. This keeps your ingredients fresh and ready to use whenever your schedule allows.

Baking, Storage, and On-the-Go Tips

Line your muffin tin with a strip of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy muffin removal and cleanup. After baking, let the egg muffins cool before packing them into a Bentgo Salad Container—perfect for refrigerator storage or toting to work.

For a variation that cuts calories and creates crispy edges, try air frying the egg muffins using the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1. The result is a lightly toasted exterior with a fluffy, tender interior—no extra oil or mess required.

Serving and Pairing Ideas

Mediterranean Egg Muffins are delicious warm or at room temperature. Pair with a simple arugula salad, fruit, or whole grain toast. For a lunchbox-ready meal, toss a couple of muffins into your Bentgo Salad Container alongside hummus and cherry tomatoes for a balanced Mediterranean-inspired snack box.
