Fry leftover vegetables (spring onion, red pepper, spinach) in a pan to reduce moisture and avoid crunchiness in the muffins.

Whisk eggs in a jug.

Add chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk until combined.

Add cheese to the egg mixture and mix well.

Add the fried vegetables to the egg mixture and combine everything together.

Grease a muffin tin using a pastry brush and oil (no spray oil available).

Let the muffins cool until they are safe to handle, then use a knife to gently remove them from the tin.
