Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease 8 holes of a muffin tin with the spray or sunflower oil and set aside.
- Put the eggs, tomato, spinach, nutmeg and salt (just a little bit as the feta is very salty) and pepper into a large jug and whisk together until combined. Divide the mixture evenly among the 8 muffin holes and then sprinkle over the feta cheese.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the muffins have risen slightly, are firm to the touch and lightly golden. Then, remove from the oven and leave to cool a little.
- Place the salad leaves on a large serving plate. Whisk the oil and vinegar together in a small bowl or mug with a little salt and pepper and pour over the leaves.
- Using a small, sharp knife, loosen the edges of each muffin from the tin and carefully pop them out.
- Arrange them on top of the salad leaves. Rip up the basil leaves, scatter them over the top, and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach will give your muffins a brighter color and a better flavor. If you only have frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all of the excess moisture before using it.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a muffin pan with liners. This will make it easy to remove the muffins from the pan. If you don't have muffin liners, you can grease the muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They are best eaten the day they are made, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Spinach and feta muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are perfect for on-the-go. With these tips, you can make perfect spinach and feta muffins every time.
