# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They reheat beautifully so you can make a batch on Sunday and eat like a king until Thursday.
- The combination of salty feta and tangy sun dried tomatoes makes each bite feel indulgent even though they are genuinely good for you.
02 -
- Do not skip greasing the tin thoroughly because eggs are stubborn stickers and you will end up with half the muffin left behind in the pan like I did the first time.
- Letting the spinach cool before adding it to the eggs prevents partial scrambling and keeps the texture silky throughout.
03 -
- Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups for perfectly even portions every single time.
- The secret to tall, proud muffin cups is filling them right to the three quarter mark and not opening the oven door until at least 18 minutes have passed.
