It’s not just the women in our family who love to cook, but the men, too! Our son Greg is quite the foodie–when he’s not busy with his career in professional baseball, he can usually be found in the kitchen whipping up new recipes (while listening to classic Greek music, of course!). One of Greg’s newest creations, the Spanakopita Egg Cups, is an easy make that can serve as breakfast for the whole week.
One of the hardest parts of sticking to a healthy diet can be the daunting task of making all of your food at home instead of buying something ready-made. With these spanakopita egg cups, one batch helps you meal prep for the whole work week–not bad for 50 minutes of work!
These delicious protein-packed egg bites put a new spin on one of our favorite Greek dishes, Spanakopita. We know you’ll enjoy them!

If I use fresh spinach, would I need to wilt it first, or would it be fine adding it fresh chopped.
Kelley, I would suggest wilting the spinach first. Hope you enjoy this recipe, we look forward to hearing from you!
The ingredients say one package of frozen chopped spinach. How many ounces in the package ? Also, can I use regular milk ?
Hi Julie, So glad you are making our Spanakopita Egg Bites! The frozen spinach is in a 10 ounce package. And yes, absolutely, use any kind of milk you prefer. Have a great day!

Can these be frozen?
Absolutely Elena! Allow the egg cups to cool and then arrange them on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1 hour, or until frozen. Remove the egg cups from the baking sheet and place them in a freezer safe container. Just thaw in the refrigerator overnight and they’ll be ready to warm in the microwave or oven the next morning. Enjoy!
