Sautee onion and zucchini. Add spinach until just wilted. Add the basil. Separate yolks from whites and whip the whites until peaks form. Add the cooked vegetables to the bowl of yolks, plus the cheese, the milk and the salt and pepper. (Don\u2019t skimp on the salt as I find that especially with spinach you need a fair bit.) Then fold the whites into the whole mixture.\r\n          <\/li>\n                            <li class=\"instruction \" itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\">\n          Cook for 15 minutes. Once out of the oven, wait 10 minutes then run a knife around the outside of the muffins and coax them off the bottom with the knife.  Place on a wire rack.
