Spanakopita Muffins
This spanakopita muffins recipe makes great use of a Greek classic spinach pie filling (minus the onions and/or scallions), but in this form the spinach-feta duo morphs into something kid-friendly, fun and healthy! To my mind, this is the Mediterranean diet aiming to win over the hardest customers: young ones who are usually picky eaters! It’s so easy to transform the classics of the Greek diet into food everyone at every age wants to eat!
