instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This will ensure that your muffins bake evenly and rise perfectly.

    2

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Make sure there are no egg whites remaining visible.

    3

    Add the olive oil to the egg mixture and stir well to incorporate.

    4

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix these dry ingredients well to ensure even distribution.

    5

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the egg mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

    6

    Fold in the cheese and spinach until evenly dispersed throughout the batter. This will give your muffins a delicious cheesy and savory flavor.

    7

    Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or additional oil to prevent sticking, ensuring each cup is well coated.

    8

    Pour the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.

    9

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    10

    Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    11

    Enjoy these muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to a week!
