Ingredients
-
1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 cups chopped sweet onion
-
3 tablespoons water
-
12 large eggs
-
2 ½ cups part-skim ricotta cheese
-
2 cups finely shredded Gruyère cheese
-
½ cup pitted oil-cured olives, finely chopped
-
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
-
1 teaspoon anchovy paste or 3 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
-
¾ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 ¾ pounds leafy greens, such as spinach, chard and/or kale, stemmed and coarsely chopped
Directions
-
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Add water and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender and brown, about 15 minutes more. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat 24 (1/2-cup) muffin cups with cooking spray. (Alternatively, line muffin cups with parchment-paper liners.)
-
Whisk eggs in a very large bowl. Add ricotta, Gruyère, olives, garlic, anchovy paste (or anchovies), pepper and the cooled onion; mix well.
-
In batches, finely chop greens in a food processor. Mix into the egg mixture to combine. Divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups (they will be full).
-
Bake until set, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges with a knife and turn out onto a clean cutting board. Serve warm or at room temperature. Let cool completely before refrigerating for up to 3 days or freezing for up to 3 months.
Tips
To make ahead: Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Equipment: Two muffin tins with 12 (1/2-cup) cups

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
