Egg muffins

-

Egg muffins with peas and spinach, toast with hummus and cut fruits were our breakfast platter. These breakfast egg cups are easy to make. And it is low carb and high in protein. 

The tomten are porcelain figurines from Naasgransgarden, a design by Ruth Vetter. Its a Swedish belief that the jultomten comes in through the front door to give presents to the children on Christmas Eve. The holiday season begins with Advent. In Lund, where we were, all shop and home windows look beautiful with Advent candelbra at this time. The gatans are decorated with Christmas lights. Inspite of the early sunset (which happens in the afternoon!), the lights brighten up the streets.Ingredients for the muffins :Organic eggs - 4 Green chili - 1Garlic - 1 clove, peeledSalt - 1/4 tspGreen peas, frozen - 200 gmsSpinach leaf, fresh - 1Olive oil - for brushing the muffin tinsBreak eggs into a bowl, Whisk till fluffy. Mince garlic and chili.

We have a thengukaran (coconut tree climber) who comes by once a month to take down the coconuts from the trees. He also chops down the dry coconut leaves. So when he is visiting, there are a lot of thumping sounds as these fall on the ground.  You sit on the seat of the cherava and grate to get the coconut shavings.
