Notes

Variations:

  • Instead of muffin tins, use six 1/2-cup (125 mL) ramekins or custard cups.
  • Instead of spinach, use kale.
  • Instead of sliced ham, use shaved ham.
  • Instead of ham, use smoked salmon.
  • Instead of goat cheese, use feta cheese, cream cheese or grated hard cheese of your choice.
  • Omit goat cheese. Over spinach leaves, place thin slice of tomato and slice of large white or cremini mushroom.
  • Omit ham. Use more spinach leaves or a large kale leaf to line muffin cups.
  • Omit goat cheese and milk; sprinkle grated Parmesan or Cheddar cheese over each egg before baking.
  • Instead of chives, use chopped fresh herbs of your choice.
