Tips:

Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
If you don't have a muffin tin, you can use a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Feel free to add other ingredients to your egg cups, such as diced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
For a cheesier egg cup, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top before baking.
These egg cups can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until heated through.
