Method

You'll need
  • Oven
  1. Heat the oven to 375Β°F and oil a 12-hole muffin pan well, so they don't stick.
  2. Beat the eggs with the milk, a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Chop the spinach, dice the pepper finely and grate the cheese, then stir them all in.8 eggs100 g baby spinach80 g sharp cheddar1 bell pepper60 ml milk
  3. Pour into the muffin pan, filling each hole about three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until puffed and set. They sink a little as they cool, and keep in the fridge for 3 days.
The trick that makes it

Wilt the spinach in a hot pan first and squeeze it dry, so the muffins are fluffy rather than watery.
