πŸ•’ Prep Time: 10 min

🍳 Cook Time: 20-25 min
🍽️ Yields: 9 muffins

πŸ₯„ Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 250 g fermented sour cream
  • 100 g Parmesan cheese (or other aged hard cheese), finely grated
  • 100 g frozen spinach
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 1 heaping tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions

  1. Thaw the spinach completely and squeeze out all excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Mix the spinach with oil and breadcrumbs.

  4. Fold in the spinach mixture until evenly incorporated. The batter will resemble a thick pancake batter.
  5. Grease 9 muffin molds generously with oil. Pour the batter into the molds, filling about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
