Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

¾ cup diced onion

¼ teaspoon salt, divided

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano

8 large eggs

¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

½ cup low-fat milk

½ teaspoon ground pepper

2 cups chopped fresh spinach

¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with oil.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and 1/8 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and oregano; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

Whisk eggs, feta, milk, pepper and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Stir in spinach, olives and the vegetable mixture. Divide among the prepared muffin cups.

Bake until firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.
