Spinach, feta & quinoa breakfast cups
You can store them in the fridge for up to three days
This savoury muffin is a great go-to when time is short and you’re looking for breakfast on the run - you can store them in the fridge for up to three days!
This recipe is packed with eggs, which are a great source of protein; and foods that are high in protein have been shown to be more satiating (this means you’ll feel fuller for longer) making these a great morning snack to tide you over until lunch. Using quinoa here helps to add texture and bind the ingredients, whilst also being free from gluten.
Serves: 6
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Ingredients
9 eggs, whisked
75g Danish feta, crumbled
100g thawed frozen spinach, excess water removed
½ cup cooked quinoa
½ cup flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Salt & pepper to season
Method
1 Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C (fan forced). Lightly oil 6 x 1-cup muffin pans.
2 In a medium bowl, mix together the eggs, crumbled feta, spinach, parsley and quinoa. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and pour into the lined muffin pans.
3 Bake for 30 minutes or until firm to touch. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Want to make it dairy free? Omit feta and increase the quinoa to ¾ cup.
