Base Ingredients (Makes 12 muffin cups):
6 large eggs, room temperature (whisks smoother!)

½ cup (75g) crumbled feta cheese (or shredded mozzarella for milder taste)
1 cup (120g) shredded zucchini (squeezed dry!)
1 cup (100g) grated potato or cauliflower rice (for texture + heartiness)

2–3 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (richness + moisture)
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Optional Add-Ins (Pick 1–2 for extra flair!):
½ cup chopped spinach (squeezed dry)
¼ cup kalamata olives, sliced
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes (for heat!)
½ tsp dried oregano or thyme (Mediterranean depth)
That’s it.
No milk.

Just real food, baked into brilliance.
💡 Pro tip: Squeeze zucchini and potato in a clean towel—it removes water that causes sogginess!
🔥 How to Make It: Step-by-Step, Bite-by-Bite
Let’s cook this like we’re making edible sunshine—one golden forkful at a time.
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or line with silicone liners (no-stick heroes!).
👉 Avoid paper liners—they stick!
Step 2: Prep the Veggies
Shred zucchini and potato or cauliflower.
Place in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and let sit 5 mins.
Squeeze hard using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth until dry.
✅ Dry veggies = firm muffins.
Step 3: Mix the Batter
In a large bowl:
Whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Stir in cheese, herbs, green onions, and all squeezed veggies.
Fold in any optional add-ins.
👉 Batter will be thick and chunky—perfect for holding shape.
Step 4: Fill the Cups
Spoon mixture into each muffin cup, filling ¾ to the top.
Sprinkle tops with extra feta or mozzarella for a golden crust.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake 22–27 minutes, until:
Edges are golden brown
Centers are set (a toothpick comes out clean)
Tops puff slightly
👉 Don’t overbake—they firm up as they cool.
Step 6: Cool & Store
Let cool in pan 10 minutes.
Gently remove with a spoon or butter knife.
Serve warm—or store for later.
Bonus: They reheat beautifully in the microwave (30 secs) or toaster oven (5 mins).
