Asparagus And Feta Egg Muffins
It’s asparagus season. One of my favourite times of year.
When you think of asparagus, is it slathered in melted butter which dribbles down your chin as you eat the spears with your fingers? Or wrapped in homemade mayonnaise, the sweetness of the asparagus contrasting with the bitterness of the olive oil? Or nestled in savoury creme patissiere, the puff pastry base crispy and golden?
One of my favourites is asparagus with egg, either grated yolk, mimosa style with melted butter or as mini muffins, an airy light frittata type mix with a salty hit from the cubes of feta and the asparagus standing to attention in each one and baked to puffy perfection.

What a wonderful way to celebrate new season asparagus! Love this.
There’s so much you can do with asparagus, I love it. GG
What beautiful presentation GG, these look amazing. Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables.
Thank you, It’s certainly one of my favourites. GG
Is British asparagus any better than Australian asparagus? It certainly looks quite fantastic in these photos!
It’s thinner and a little longer than regular asparagus, which means it’s sweeter. I love British asparagus. GG
Absolutely wonderful! I too love asparagus and you have whet my appetite with your muffins.
Have a super weekend.

You too Mandy, thank you. GG
I love it when I see asparagus for sale in the shops as it lets me know the season has arrived and along with it, the arrival of Spring. These muffins look amazing and what an incredible start to the day these would be xx
It must be strange looking at spring recipes as you head towards winter. I just love the produce from this time of year. GG
My favourite spring veggie! These savoury muffins look wonderfully delicious, GG.
Ohh lovely asparagus! I always look forward to it – it’s a while til we get it here 🙂
Mmm, the last of my asparagus has gone away and I can’t wait to see it again in Spring. 🙂
Yes, I have to say, your tribute to asparagus looks much better than the one I prepared last week :P. Beautiful job, as always.
*kisses* H
Oh i love quiche! What a lovely shaped muffin pan too.
I wish I could eat cream without getting a stomach ache…these look delicious! I love asparagus.
Yum, I really want to try these delicious mini savoury muffins 😀
Love feta and asparagus 🙂

Mini chefs and I have been making mini frittatas but with spinach and yoghurt. These look soooo good.
The UK asparagus season is usually over by the time I hit the shores in July. I have great memories of huge plates of asparagus from nearby vale of Evesham eaten at The Plough at Ford slathered in Hollandaise or just butter.
Love these mini- bite sized fritatas.
