Servings: 6 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup onions, chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed Rinsed and thoroughly drained.
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt More or less as preferred.
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper or white pepper More or less as preferred.
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • vegetable oil cooking spray To grease muffin tin.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a small saucepan on top of the stove over low-medium heat.
  • Add chopped onions. Stir constantly until semi-translucent.
  • Turn heat off. Set onions aside.
  • Rinse frozen spinach in a colander. Place rinsed spinach in a clean kitchen towel. Twist the towel tightly to remove all water. Set spinach aside.
  • Crack six eggs and drop them into a large bowl.
  • Add shredded cheddar cheese, salt and coarse ground black pepper (or white pepper), prepared onions and prepared spinach (drained/thawed).
  • Whisk (or stir) together until spinach is smooth and mixture is well combined. Set aside.
  • Spray 6-cup muffin tin with vegetable oil cooking spray,
  • Use a 1-cup measuring cup to scoop mixture from bowl... and to pour in each muffin cup.
  • Try not to overflow the cups. If an overflow happens, scoop it up with a spoon and place in an empty cup or a cup that needs more mixture.
  • Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Muffins will rise dramatically while baking. They will deflate dramatically while cooling. Taste not affected.
  • Serve hot or warm.
  • FREEZER TIP: Place cooled muffins in a freezer bag. Seal tightly. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use (up to 7 days). Warm in microwave for 30 seconds OR in a preheated 350 degree oven for 5 minutes.
