Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup mini muffin tin with 1 sheet of thawed phyllo dough, pressing gently into each cup. Brush the dough with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 cups chopped fresh spinach and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese.
  4. Step 4: Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and golden around the edges.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Spinach and Feta Mini Quiches take to make?

Total time is about 45 minutes (20 min prep + 25 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a busy morning; prep components the night before to save active time.

How do I store leftover Spinach and Feta Mini Quiches?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; egg- or grain-based items may need a splash of milk or water to refresh texture. Cold-served items (overnight oats, smoothies) keep 2–3 days in the fridge.

Can I substitute ingredients in Spinach and Feta Mini Quiches?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Spinach and Feta Mini Quiches for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 12 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 12). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

What goes well with Spinach and Feta Mini Quiches?

French breakfast like this pair well with a simple grain (rice, couscous, or crusty bread), a quick salad with acid (lemon vinaigrette, pickled onions), and a pan sauce or yogurt-based dip. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
