Let's cook

  1. Grease very well

    Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly, including the top surface, or use silicone cups. Egg sticks ferociously.

    💡

    Silicone cups are worth buying for this alone.

  2. Dry the fillings

    Squeeze all the water out of the wilted spinach and cook off any liquid from the pepper. Wet fillings make the muffins collapse and weep.

  3. Whisk the eggs well

    Beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper for 30 seconds until completely uniform.

  4. Fill two-thirds

    Divide the fillings between the cups, then pour the egg over to two-thirds full. They rise considerably and then settle.

  5. Bake moderate

    Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–22 minutes until just set and puffed. They will sink as they cool, which is normal.

  6. Cool before removing

    Cool 5 minutes in the tin, then run a knife around each and lift out.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes

Keeps 5 days refrigerated or 2 months frozen. Reheat for 30 seconds in the microwave. Overbaking makes them rubbery and weepy, so pull them the moment the centres set.

  • Vegetarian: Mushrooms, sun-dried tomato, and feta.
  • Dairy-free: Skip the cheese and milk; add nutritional yeast.
  • Variety: Divide the plain egg mixture over different fillings in each cup.
