# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly or line with paper liners.

03 - Crack eggs into a large bowl. Whisk together with milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until fully combined and slightly frothy.
04 - Fold the cooked spinach mixture and crumbled feta into the egg mixture. Add shredded cheese if using. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
