Preheat a fan-forced oven to 180 degrees celsius. Line a 12-cup muffin tray with muffin cases.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
At the base of the muffin cases, add a mix of the leftover roast veggies (fill to halfway). Top with the egg mixture and sprinkle over the spinach leaves, goat's cheese, pepitas and chives.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through in the centre.

I love to serve mine with a small side salad, including spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes, pepitas, goat’s cheese and a drizzle of caramelised balsamic vinegar!
