- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper or 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 ounces firm feta cheese, chopped into smallish cubes (75 grams)
- 1/4 cup asiago cheese or 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated

- Spray a 12 muffin tray with cooking oil or grease with butter (ensure thoroughly coated). Can use paper cases to line instead of spray or butter if you wish.
- Combine the flour, baking powder and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a balloon whisk.
- In another mixing bowl or a large jug - whisk the eggs, milk and oil together. Stir through the chopped spinach and the sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Gentley stir in the crumbled fetta and the finely grated asiago (or parmesan) cheeses.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Fold together gently -until just mixed. Do not overbeat or you will end up with 'heavy' muffins.
