    NOTES FROM OTHERS:
    – These are wonderful.. I made as directed except for adding a few sun dried tomatoes to the mix, I also used a basil feta and a little garlic and boy were they packed with flavour..
    – These are delicious. I made them ahead for a dinner party by put them into small muffin tins and freezing before baking. after they were frozen I popped them out and put them into freezer bags. When I was ready to use them I took out the amount i needed put them into the greased muffin tins, let them thaw and then bake as directed. thanks
    – I think in the future I’d add the garlic. I used the paper cups, and sprayed them with no-stick spray to try and keep them from sticking. They still seemed to stick. I’ll make these again, because the flavor is so great and they are so versatile….can use for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I used fresh spinach, so added the time to cook, drain and chop it. My muffins were large, so I ended up adding another 10 to 15 minutes of cooking time. Thanks for sharing!
