Spinach, Cheese and Spring Onion Muffins

I love savoury muffins and always have a few stashed in the freezer. They are delicious for breakfast or as a side with soup for lunch. These are so easy to make and can be whipped up and in the oven in minutes.

Tips:

A 120g bag of washed baby spinach makes about a half a cup when wilted in a frying pan with a little bit of butter or oil. I also season it lightly with salt and pepper.

You can also use frozen spinach. Just make sure it is fully squeezed of excess water or it will make the muffins stodgy.

Take them out of the muffin tin about 5 minutes after they come out of the oven as leaving them in the tin can make them soggy. Run a palette knife around the edges and tip onto a cooling rack.

I’m a strong advocate for throw something together using whatever you can find and hope for the best… And sometimes this fails miserably and I end up with a distasteful look on my face while I scoff down something less than mediocre. Occasionally however, it comes together nicely and that’s exactly what happened with tonight’s dinner. It’s a super easy and healthy vegetarian dish that takes no time at all. Read the recipe below to transform a few ingredients -that you probably have on hand already- into this baked delight in less than half an hour. Feel free to add any vegetables you have on hand; I would love to add spinach next time. This would also be great served with a side salad or some steamed greens.

Ingredients:

1/2 white onion (diced)

Hand full of sliced mushrooms (I used button)

4 eggs

Grated cheese

Once upon a time, I was a kid, and my affair with cooked greens was non-existent. I simply refused to eat them. They just didn’t “smell” nice.

This dish is not all green but still I refused to eat it. It involved cooked greens. No amount of begging could make me even try it. My sister ate it with yogurt. I could not. No spanakorizo for me please… Until the day I harvested my first spinach from my own small vegetable garden and wondered what to do with it 😉 .

Now I beg my own kids to eat it. And they refuse – and I understand them. ‘But it is very yummy, and healthy too!’, but they are still not convinced. So we make a deal: two spoonfuls of spanakorizo, accompanied by a generous portion of homemade fries. Last time I made it, 3 out of 4 kids ate…
