1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
1/4 cup (50 mL) sliced green onions
1 clove garlic, minced
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) shredded carrots (about 4 small)
5 eggs, beaten

1 tsp (5 mL) dried basil, crushed

Directions

In a medium skillet, melt butter and cook green onions and garlic until tender but not browned. Add carrots; cook about 2 minutes more until tender crisp. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, stir together eggs, cheese, cornmeal, basil, nutmeg and pepper. Stir in carrot mixture. Spray twelve or twenty-four 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) muffin cups with vegetable spray. Spoon about 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the carrot mixture into each muffin cup. Bake in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 15 minutes or until set. Let stand 2 minutes. Remove from pans. Serve hot.

Makes about 24 appetizers.
