Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Either lightly spray 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or line muffin tin with cupcake liners.Mix the egg mixture together – make sure the eggs are fully blended.In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter. Once melted, added the chopped onion. After the onion is softened, add the red pepper. After about 5-7 minutes, add the spinach and tomatoes. Once the spinach has reduced in size, transfer from skillet to large bowl. Let cool for a few minutes occasionally stirring to facilitate cooling.Once cool, add spices and feta cheese. Mix well.Spoon filling into 12 muffin cups – about 2/3 filled. Carefully spoon egg mixture into each muffin cup to about 2/3 filled. To minimize spilling, I use a gravy ladle to spoon the egg mixture.Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. The muffins will be done when the tops of the muffin are browned and a knife inserted into the muffin comes out clean. Place on wire rack.Either serve while still warm or cool completely then refrigerate or freeze. Warm in microwave.HAPPY EATING!!
