PESTO EGG MUFFINS

PREPARATION TIME
Hands-on 5 minutes
Overall 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS (10 MUFFINS)
2/3 cup frozen spinach, thawed and excess water removed (100 g / 3.5 oz)
3 tbsp pesto (45 g / 1.6 oz)
½ cup Kalamata or other olives, pitted (50 g / 1.8 oz)
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (28 g / 1 oz)
125 g soft goat cheese (e.g. feta) or other soft type of cheese (4.4 oz)
6 large eggs, free-range or organic
Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 F / 175 C. Squeeze out the excess water from the spinach, deseed and slice the olives and chop the sun-dried tomatoes. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the pesto and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
Divide the spinach, crumbled goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and olives evenly into the muffin pan (I used a silicon muffin pan). Pour in the egg and pesto mixture and transfer into the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until browned on top and cooked inside.
When done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool down. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Three muffins is a light breakfast. To get it over 30 g of protein, eat four, or put two next to a couple of turkey patties.
