Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Heat 1 Tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion and sauté 2–3 minutes, until the onion begins to soften.
- Add 1 cup finely chopped red bell pepper and 2 cups baby spinach; cook, stirring, until the spinach has wilted (about 1–2 minutes).
- Stir in 6 ounces chopped cooked chicken breast and 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes; cook 30–60 seconds to heat through. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or grease the cups.
- Divide the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- In a bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together 5 large eggs and 3/4 cup egg whites until combined. Add salt, pepper, or dried herbs if desired.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the filling in each muffin cup, filling most of the way up but leaving a small gap at the top.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup feta cheese evenly over the tops of the cups.
- Bake on the center oven rack for 20–25 minutes, until the egg cups are set and lightly golden (or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F).
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let sit 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each cup, then carefully lift the egg cups from the tin and let cool slightly before serving.
