Method

  1. 1

    Spanakopita Muffins: Whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, pepper) in a bowl.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, olive oil) and then combine with the dry mixture to form a batter.

  3. 3

    Fold in the cooked chopped leeks, fresh spinach, chopped dill, grated cheddar, crumbled feta, and freshly grated nutmeg until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Prepare the crust mixture by combining sesame seeds and chopped spring onion.

  5. 5

    Spoon the batter into a large Texas‑sized muffin tin, then sprinkle the sesame‑spring‑onion crust on top of each muffin.

  6. 6

    Bake in a preheated oven until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
