What you need to make them

Ingredient notes & substitutions

• Black olives can be skipped if you don't like them
• Heavy cream can be switched for half and half or milk
• Feta cheese can be substituted for another similar style cheese, for example white "salad cheese". Make sure your cheese is vegetarian if that's important to you.

How to make them

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and crack all the eggs in a bowl
2. Whisk together well
3. Pour in the cream
4. Mix again, until well combined

5. Add crumbled Feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes & pitted black olives
6. Combine gently
7. Pour into a muffin tin lined with muffin liners - use a spoon to coax the olives, feat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes into the liners
8. Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (175°C), until set. Then let them rest for at least 10 minutes. They puff up when baking, and will sink when cooling.

Tips & tricks

• If you don't have a muffin tin you can use sturdy aluminium liners instead. In this case don't fill the liners more than ¾ of the way. Using paper muffin liners without a muffin tin won't work.
• You can make these without muffin liners using just the muffin tin - just make sure to grease it first
• Make sure to spread out the good stuff - use a spoon to add some Feta cheese, black olives and sun-dried tomatoes to all muffins so it doesn't just end up at the bottom and all go to the last ones
• Let them rest for at least 10 minutes before attempting to remove them from the muffin tin
• Store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days
• Freeze them in sealed bags or airtight containers for up to 3 months
• Eat leftover muffins cold or warm - you can heat them gently in the microwave or oven
