Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6, and mist 8 x WW 2 in 1 Mini Cake Moulds with cooking spray. Place the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water from the kettle to wilt.

  2. Fry the spring onions and garlic clove in a frying pan misted with cooking spray, for 1-2 minutes, then remove from the heat. Beat the milk, eggs and oil together in a bowl.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt and the chopped chives, stir until combined. Fold in the spring onions, spinach, broccoli and 130g of the cheese.
  4. Spoon into the prepared moulds, scatter with an extra 20g cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes.
