03 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
04 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - Salt, to taste

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray.
02 - Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add asparagus and red bell pepper and sauté 2–3 minutes until just tender. Add peas and spinach, cook 30–60 seconds until spinach wilts, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, crumbled feta, grated Parmesan, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt and pepper until homogeneous.
04 - Fold the cooled sautéed vegetables and sliced scallions gently into the egg mixture, taking care not to overmix.
05 - Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven 18–22 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden.
07 - Allow the cups to cool in the pan 5 minutes, run a knife around the edges and remove the muffins. Serve warm or at room temperature.
