Ingredients
1cuptorn fresh spinach leaves
8ozcubed ham(I used Hormel Cure 81 Cubed Ham, but Smithfield and other brands also sell this in 8 oz packages)
2ozshredded Swiss cheese
2teaspoonschopped chives
9largeeggs
5.3ozcontainer plain nonfat Greek yogurt
¼teaspoonsalt
¼teaspoonblack pepper
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Mist a 12-count standard-sized muffin tin with cooking spray.
Divide the torn spinach leaves, cubed ham, shredded Swiss, and chopped chives evenly amongst the wells in the prepared muffin tin. You can layer the ingredients or mix them together (I mixed), either way will work!
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and add the yogurt, salt, and pepper. Beat with a whisk until well combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over top of the fillings in each of the wells in the muffin tin.
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes until puffy and set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the muffin tin. I like to run a small spatula along the outside of each muffin before releasing it from the tin.
