Spanakopita Egg Muffins (Easy Egg Bite Recipe!)

From the zcook collection

These egg muffins are an easy egg bite recipe inspired from the savory Greek pastry spanakopita, but I skip the phyllo crust for a gluten free, healthy breakfast or high protein snack that’s easy, satisfying and delicious. They freeze and reheat exceptionally well, so they’re a great way to get ahead for busy weekday mornings.
