Spinach and Feta Muffins

These savory muffins are so good! There are creamy cubes of feta cheese just waiting to burst on your taste buds. Teen girl of the taste test team tried to steal them all! Mum put some nutmeg in because her Grandmother taught her to use it to make spinach or silverbeet taste a little better. She also used baby spinach in this batch but you caould use normal spinach too.
