Spinach And Feta Muffins Recipe
A healthy savoury dessert
Spinach And Feta muffins are a great way to start your day with a quick but deliciously wholesome breakfast. The goodness of the healthy greens coupled with the sharp tanginess of feta makes these savoury muffins a tasty treat for kids and grown-ups alike. You can use paneer if you do not find feta cheese easily. The cornmeal adds a slightly sweet, nutty taste to the muffins. You can garnish the muffins with parmesan cheese (or any cheese of choice) or cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs
The Spinach And Feta Muffins can be served hot on their own or with sour cream/tomato sauce for breakfast or a quick after school snack, or with evening tea.
