Feeds: 6 hungry humans (or 12 semi-hungry ones)
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Cook Temp: 400°F (aka “golden muffin magic” temp)
Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients

10 large eggs
1–2 tsp Flavor Expedition Co. Crisp Morning (Apple Jalapeño seasoning) — adjust for your spice comfort level
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 ½ cups shredded white cheddar cheese (or any cheese that makes your heart happy)
Non-stick cooking spray
Optional: extra cheese + a pinch more Crisp Morning for topping

Instructions

Heat Things Up – Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spray a 12-count muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray (egg glue is real, people).
Whisk It Good – In a large mixing bowl or measuring cup, crack in the eggs. Add Crisp Morning and whisk until your wrist feels mildly heroic.
Load the Flavor – Stir in chopped spinach and shredded cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
Upgrade Optional – Sprinkle extra cheese and a dash more Crisp Morning on top for bonus flavor points.
Bake to Perfection – Slide into the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are set and slightly golden.
Cool & Conquer – Let muffins cool for a few minutes before popping them out. Eat immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Tips & Notes

Swap the spinach for kale, peppers, mushrooms, or whatever veggies are in your fridge crying for attention.
Dairy-free? Skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative—still delicious.
Reheat in the microwave for 30–45 seconds, or in the oven at 325°F for a crispier edge.
Want to live dangerously? Add cooked bacon or sausage crumbles to the mix.

These apple jalapeño Sunrise Spinach Egg Muffins aren’t just breakfast—they’re a power move. Sweet, spicy, cheesy, and ridiculously easy, they’re the morning win you didn’t know you needed.
