| Cheesy Spinach Muffins Via Food Lust People Love |
Yield: 12 muffins
Ingredients:
3 1/2 oz frozen spinach
2 2/3 oz feta
3 1/2 oz extra sharp cheddar
2 tomatoes
2 cups flour
Sea salt flakes
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup milk
Several sprigs fresh thyme
Black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C and grease your 12-cup muffin pan liberally with non-stick spray or butter.
Thaw your spinach with a few zaps in the microwave. Or allow to thaw naturally, if you have time. Allow to cool too hot. Buy the spinach that is frozen in cubes. It's much easier then to thaw just what you need.
Grate your cheddar cheese and crumble the feta.
Slice the tomatoes fairly thinly and leave to drain on some folded paper towels. You need 12 slices.
Measure flour, salt, baking powder, grated cheddar and some of the leaves off of your fresh thyme sprigs into a large mixing bowl and mix well. Measure the milk and olive oil into a smaller bowl and whisk with the eggs and thawed spinach.
Fold your wet ingredients into your dry ones until just mixed. Fold in the crumbled feta.
Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups. Pat the tomato slices really dry with another paper towel and top each cup of batter with one. Sprinkle the tomato slices with a little more fresh thyme, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until you can see that the sides are turning golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Remove from the pan, loosening gently with a knife if necessary, and cool further on a wire rack.
