Ingredients

• •8 eggs
• •1 cup / 225 g cottage cheese
• •½ cup / 50 g grated cheddar
• •2 big handfuls spinach, chopped
• •3 scallions, sliced
• •salt and black pepper
• •butter or oil for the tin

Method

1. Heat the oven to 350°F / 175°C and grease a 12-cup muffin tin properly — every cup, all the way up.
2. Blend the eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper until completely smooth — the blender is what makes them custardy.
3. Stir in the spinach, scallions and cheddar; divide between the cups.
4. Bake 18–22 minutes until just set, with the faintest wobble in the middle.
5. Cool five minutes in the tin — they release cleanly once they have settled.
