  2. Beat the eggs and stir in the veg and feta. Pour into the 6 holes. Bake for 15 minutes until the eggs are set. Leave for a minute or two, then use a knife to carefully remove the ‘muffins’.

My 2½ year old enjoyed these, (as did my 2 bigger babies who are nearly 15 and 17!!!) I have a shallow muffin tin so they came out like tiny omelettes. Bit hard to get out but will definitely be making these regularly!

Wonderfully quick, tasty and my toddler loved them. Used frozen peas, sweetcorn and broccoli as these are his favourites. Worked easily in silicon muffin cases.

My one year old little boy loved these so much that he had to have a second helping. I did struggle to get them out of the tin so I baked the second batch in paper cases. I will definitely be making these again.

Can these be stored? If yes then for how long?

Thanks for your question. Either freeze as above or if you want to keep them in the fridge. Cool and then refrigerate immediately, store in a covered container and eat within 2 days.
