Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a muffin tin.
-
Cut the eggplant into small cubes and place them in a colander. Sprinkle salt over the eggplant cubes and let them sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
-
Rinse the eggplant cubes under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and dried dill.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and olive oil. Mix well.
-
Add the eggplant cubes, feta cheese, and cherry tomatoes to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
-
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
-
Spoon the batter into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Garnish with fresh dill before serving.
