2. Drizzle large skillet with olive oil, and heat over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and tender, about 4-5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, garlic and bell pepper and continue cooking for about a minute, until fragrant.
3. Throw in spinach leaves and toss gently until completely wilted, about one minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, add whole eggs, egg whites, fresh thyme and nutmeg. Beat the eggs until fully incorporated and slightly frothy. Add spinach mixture; sun dried tomatoes and Feta cheese.
5. Spoon into prepared muffin tin. Do not fill the cups more than ¾ of the way to avoid spillage.
6. Cook for 22-25 minutes, until eggs are set and top starts to colour.
7. Allow to cool on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before removing frittata from cups.
8. Can be served immediately, but is equally good served cold, with a nice green salad. yummy
