FAQs

Is it possible to make these dairy-free?

Yes, simply omit the feta or use a plant-based version. For the liquid, opt for non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk.

Are Feta Egg Muffins spicy?

Not much unless you want some chili flakes or a punchy sausage- otherwise, totally kid-approved.

Can I use only egg whites instead of whole eggs?

Sure! For a lighter version, substitute 6 eggs with 1½ cups of egg whites.

How much do they puff up?

They do puff when baking, but will settle as they cool. Still fluffy and delicious, so don’t worry!
