Ingredients

  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach
  • 1 cup Fresh Parsley
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro
  • 6 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Flaxseed Meal
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with a small amount of the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring each cup is coated.
  2. 2Finely chop the 2 cups of fresh spinach, the 1 cup of fresh parsley, and the 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro. Aim for small, consistent pieces.
  3. 3In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
  4. 4Add the finely chopped 2 cups of fresh spinach, 1 cup of fresh parsley, and 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro to the egg mixture. Stir everything together until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. 5Carefully pour the herb and egg mixture into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  6. 6Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The Kuku Sabzi Bites are done when they are puffed up, golden brown around the edges, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. 7Allow the Kuku Sabzi Bites to cool in the mini muffin tin for about 5 minutes before gently removing them. This slight cooling period helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
