YUM

I just found this on the Whole30 blog. I can't wait to try them!!

Steal This Meal: Egg and Spinach “Muffins”

Ingredients:

• 4 pastured or Omega-3 eggs (yes, yummy yolks and all!!)
• 4 9oz bags/boxes of frozen spinach
• 3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
• 1-2 Tb Italian Spice Blend (or your own blend of oregano, basil, etc)
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• Sea Salt to taste
• Red Pepper Flakes to taste (if you like spicy stuff)

More veggies, please!

Directions:

• Defrost spinach in microwave
• While spinach is defrosting, beat your eggs well
• Drain spinach REALLY WELL!! (I like Melissa’s tip of cutting a small hole in the corner of the bag, and then squeezing it like your life depends on it until you can’t get any more water out)
• Dump spinach into a bowl and stir in minced garlic & spices/seasonings to taste**
• Add beaten eggs to spinach, and mix well
• Spoon evenly into 12 muffin pan holes, and pack down a bit
• Bake in the oven at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
• Pull out of oven and turn pan upside down onto a cooling rack so that “muffins” can cool.

These will “deflate” a little as well, but not much if they are cooked well enough. The final pic is of one of my “muffins” after a night in the fridge. These are REALLY YUMMY straight out of the fridge. And on a side note – I have NEVER been a fan of frozen spinach, but I really, really liked these, so give them a try even if you’re not a fan of the frozen stuff – I think that they’ll pleasantly suprise you!
