A little olive oil (for cooking the mushrooms)
280g fresh spinach
4 or 5 eggs
1 cup shredded cheese of your choice
230g mini-bella mushrooms, chopped
1-2 tbsp, heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
*Variation - If you don't fancy mushrooms, try asparagus or bell peppers with the spinach. Also, add some onions to the mix. I add some when I do not use mushrooms.

- Preheat the oven to 375F or 190C.
- Heat a little oil in a large skillet. Saute the mushrooms until they are soft, about 5-6 minutes. Set Aside.
- Place the spinach in a deep pan or in the skillet that you used for the mushrooms. Add a little water, 1/4 cup should do it. Using medium heat, cook the spinach just until wilted, about 3-4 mins. Use either your hand or a spatula to pack in the spinach. Drain the excess water really well (especially if you decide to use frozen spinach instead).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until combined. Add the cooked mushrooms, spinach, cheeses and cream (if using) to the eggs. Mix well. Season to taste.
- Divide evenly among the 12 muffin cups. The muffin tray was slightly bigger than usual so I only filled about 10 cups.
- Bake for about 20-23 minutes, or until it's well set and a tester/toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Leave in the pan for a few minutes or just until it's cool enough to handle. It was so easy to remove them from the pan! They practically pop-out!
- Sprinkle with a little more cheese on top, if desired. Mark enjoys them with rice on the side!
